AI and Biosecurity Risk Assessment: Protecting Against Biological and Chemical Weapons.
This law requires the government to assess how advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to create dangerous new pathogens, viruses, or chemical weapons. The goal is to protect public health and national security from potential biological catastrophes. This means the government will actively monitor global threats to prevent scenarios that could lead to massive loss of life and societal instability.
Key points
The government must study whether AI (such as large language models) can be used, intentionally or unintentionally, to develop biological or chemical weapons.
Mandates regular monitoring of global biological catastrophic risks that could cause sudden, extraordinary loss of life and economic damage.
AI risk assessment findings will be included in the National Health Security Strategy, enhancing the nation's preparedness for future threats.
