Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
This article is written as part of a summary of the AI safety discussions held at the 2026 Global Challenges Project Biosecurity Workshop in Washington, D.C. All views held are mine. BackgroundAI allows us to prototype, develop, and research at unprecedented speeds. Across many tech industries, the barrier to entry to develop something new has significantly decreased. One particularly noteworthy example is at the intersection of AI and biology. As our computational capabilities increase, we now have the ability to fold, design, and predict the function of never-before-seen proteins.
