Navigate to NW Tech Show - Some AI Threats Overhyped - Sept 25white background with red words: "And at the end of the day, even if a fully automated, API-driven lethal viral synthesis lab existed and an Al wields it month over month, year over year, to perform cell/mouse experiments to create a lethal virus, that lethality is being measured in model organisms not in humans. This is the same problem as in drug discovery where most drugs that show promise in mice don't make it through human trials. In sum, when you actually know something about building a laboratory, lab automation, and what goes into synthesizing a virus and testing its properties, it becomes clear that Al does not impact this very much. At best, it provides bad actors with a quicker way than the internet to learn about the stuff I described (which machines, which lab protocols, etc.). But it does nothing to impact procurement timelines, existing industry safeguards and regulations on procurement for lab facilities, the ~$100M cost (plus high operating expenses), the physical limits on experimentation velocity, or the fundamental knowledge gaps in virology that cannot be solved merely by 'smarter' Al without iteration in the physical world."
