AI executives make rare collective warning on bioweapons threat
AI executives Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis, and Sam Altman jointly urged laws to prevent AI from being used to create bioweapons. They warned AI systems could surpass PhD-level virologists in biotech tasks, enabling the design of deadly pathogens. The US government, under President Donald Trump, signed an executive order requiring tech firms to submit frontier AI models for safety inspections.
