Comme le souligne Sophie Peresson dans @lemonde.fr le futur EU Biotech Act pourrait rendre obligatoire le contrôle de la synthèse d’ADN pour protéger science, investissement et confiance. www.lemonde.fr/sciences/art... @hnirom.bsky.social
« Mieux encadrer la biotechnologie est un accélérateur d’innovation »
TRIBUNE. Pendant que les Etats-Unis et le Royaume-Uni adoptent des politiques pour encadrer la synthèse d’ADN, l’Europe tergiverse. Un retard qui pourrait coûter cher à une bioéconomie pesant 728 mill...

Microsoft’s latest Ideas podcast features IBBIS' Technical Lead @tessafyi.bsky.social discussing the Paraphrase Project —an exploration of AI-powered protein design that revealed both the risks and safeguards needed to ensure AI’s safe use in biotechnology, with key experts.
In “Ideas,” collaborators Eric Horvitz, Bruce Wittmann, Tessa Alexanian, & James Diggans discuss a red-teaming effort that exposed & secured a biosecurity vulnerability in AI-driven protein design—& what the work shows about managing AI’s dual-use risks. msft.it/6010sLYsr

AI-designed proteins pose new risks, but DNA synthesis screening can adapt. IBBIS and @msftresearch.bsky.social (@erichorvitz.bsky.social) show how red-teaming can safely strengthen biosecurity, introducing tiered-access for sensitive data—the first of its kind. Read more: ibbis.bio/new-study-se...
New study sets a precedent for responsible AI and biosecurity - IBBIS
The paper shows screening tools can be made resilient to AI protein designs and sets a precedent for responsible red-teaming of synthesis screening.
