When Artificial Intelligence meets biology

Microsoft researchers disclosed a confidential study that explored how open-source Artificial Intelligence tools could bypass biosecurity checks and said their work helped produce fixes now influencing global standards.

more Artificial Intelligence-resilient biosecurity with the Paraphrase Project

Microsoft researcher Eric Horvitz and collaborators discuss the Paraphrase Project, a red-teaming effort that exposed and helped secure a biosecurity vulnerability in Artificial Intelligence-driven protein design. The episode frames the work as a practical model for mitigating dual-use risks in Artificial Intelligence applications.
