Axios: AI’s big biosecurity blind spot . “Researchers from Johns Hopkins, Oxford, Stanford, Columbia and NYU are calling for guardrails on certain infectious disease datasets that could enable AI to design deadly viruses….Once high-risk biological data hits the open web, it can’t be recalled — and regulation won’t matter if the knowledge itself is already widely distributed.”

"...Researchers say there's a window of opportunity to protect dangerous data and prevent bad actors from using AI tools to create bioweapons or other harmful applications."
