MI5 Warns of AI-Powered Biological Weapons

The MI5 has sounded the alarm over the possibility of AI being used to create biological weapons, with the agency warning that the barriers to such development are now low enough to be breached.

The agency’s concerns are centered around the potential for AI to provide guidance on the creation of biological weapons, rather than actually building them, in order to prevent the misuse of AI in this area without hindering its benefits in medicine and research.
