Assessing and Navigating Biosecurity Concerns and Benefits of Artificial Intelligence Use in the Life Sciences
Rolling Submissions
NASEM
Description
The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and life sciences is an emerging area of research and development with promising benefits and applications but may also have security implications. This committee will consider the ways in which AI-enabled biological design tools and biological data sets for training AI can increase and mitigate biosecurity risks, specifically on concerns of transmissible biological threats that could pose significant epidemic and pandemic-scale consequences. The National Academies of Sciences, Eng...

Other Grantor Information
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide independent, objective advice to inform policy with evidence, spark progress and innovation, and confront challenging issues for the benefit of society. They are comprised of three academies: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Medicine. The organization convenes hundreds of conferences, workshops, and symposia annually, bringing together leading experts from academia, public, and private sectors. Their work focuses on providing high-quality, evidence-based consensus on complex scientific, engineering, and health-related challenges. They produce peer-reviewed reports, publish scientific journals, and serve as a trusted source of expert advice for policymaking. The National Academies mobilize approximately 6,000 top experts each year who volunteer their time and knowledge to conduct policy studies, workshops, and other activities aimed at addressing critical issues facing the nation and world.
Additional Information
An unclassified consensus report will provide evidence-supported analysis of AI model capabilities, including trends and actionable recommendations for near- and mid-term implementation. This study will build on the 2018 study Biodefense in an Age of Synthetic Biology but would not duplicate that work. Additional URLs:
