Can artificial intelligence develop a deadly biological weapon?

Despite the deadly risks caused by Corona’s pandemic, the next epidemic can be more dangerous. With the development of artificial intelligence models and modern laboratory instruments, scientists or countries that work beyond the framework of law can design diseases that spread faster, are more resistant to vaccine and can cause more people’s death compared to what is caused by Kovid-19. For this reason, governments, technology companies and scientific researchers should take urgent measures to reduce this potential risk. Nature has always been a source of deadly diseases, such as Spanish pest and flu. Similarly, people through history could develop biological weapons. In World War II, Japan carried out cruel biological experiences, and during the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union stored quantities of biological toxins, while the Soviet program continued, even after the signing of the 1972 biological weapons agreement. But these efforts have traditionally been limited by the number of trained scientists and instruments available for research and arms development. However, the current technology has exceeded these restrictions, where large language models, such as the “Chat BT”, developed by the company “Openai”, can quickly collect and analyze large amounts of knowledge. In a recent experience, a robot led a group of students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on how to achieve four potential deadly diseases, and the place to obtain the necessary DNA without revealing the matter, all within one hour. More advanced and effective programs are specialized artificial intelligence programs trained in biological data, known as biological design instruments, more advanced and effective. Over time, these programs can accelerate the development of new pathogens with deadly characteristics, and perhaps even with the ability to target specific population groups. Emerging technology, such as mobile devices that enable individual researchers to create their DNA chains, and cloud labs that allow remote experiments using robots and automatic instruments, contribute to reducing barriers that prevent the testing and production of potential biological weapons. Although the obstacles that prevent the production and distribution of effective biological weapons are still large, scientists warn that this situation may change over the next few years due to rapid progress in these technologies. Therefore, urgent measures must be taken before this technology reaches the stage of maturity that facilitates the production of biological weapons. A series of interventions can contribute to reducing risks. Effective investigation is an important step in the beginning; You need to focus on artificial intelligence models. Some developers of the most powerful major language models in the United States are voluntarily provided to the government to do an additional evaluation, and it is positive, but there must be a greater investigation into models that are a special risk, especially those trained on a sensitive biological data. Congress must work with artificial intelligence developers and scientists to set standards to determine the formal models, in addition to setting strict controls on models that pose many risks. With technological advances, the imposition of strict control can be needed. Secondly, measures must be taken to prevent the arrival of viruses designed with artificial intelligence for the real world. Artificial core acid providers must verify the identity of their clients and investigate the requests to detect any suspicious parts of DNA. All requests must be documented to detect new pathogens if they are introduced. Strict controls must also be imposed on portable DNA manufacturing devices, with the need to audit the identity of clients and requests in Cloud Laboratories. There must also be human supervision of all dangerous experiences to ensure safety. More preventive measures, the United States need to drive other countries to take similar preventative measures so that prohibited does not use less accurate service providers in other places. If it is difficult to tighten the biological arms agreement due to diplomatic tension, the Allied countries must agree on a group of best practices as they have already started artificial intelligence. Above all, countries need to improve their defense against epidemics to prevent someone from utilizing regime girales and causing serious damage. Artificial intelligence itself can contribute to improving the capabilities of governments to discover new pathogens in the early stages, in addition to facilitating vaccines and the production and distribution of personal protection equipment. The strengthening of public health systems is an extreme necessity, or the new viruses are caused by terrorists, or outside the law, accidents or even nature. The Kofid-19 Shory has revealed great gaps in this defense, and many of them are still without treatment to this day. Governments have all the incentives to work to bridge these gaps and face future threats before it is too late. In short, the article discusses the possible risks of the next epidemic, which can be more dangerous than the corona pandemic due to technological advances in the field of artificial intelligence and biological instruments. With the development of these technologies, scientists or illegal bodies can achieve new diseases that are spreading faster and more resistant to vaccine. The article highlights the need to take urgent measures through governments and technology companies to reduce these risks, such as checking artificial intelligence models, drafting nuclear acids production and improving health defense against epidemics.
