#SyntheticBiology

OpenAI, one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence developers, has sounded an alarm over the impending arrival of AI systems with powerful capabilities in the field of biology—warning that the next wave of models may reach a “high-risk classification” due to their potential for misuse, including the development of biological threats and weapons. This development marks a pivotal moment as AI becomes increasingly capable not just of assisting scientific research but also of introducing new biosecurity risks and ethical challenges that affect societies worldwide, including Thailand.
