Biological and Chemical Risks

"The dual-use nature of AI technology presents a critical risk by significantly lowering technical thresholds for malicious non-state actors to design, synthesize, acquire, and deploy CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive) weapons. This capability poses unprecedented challenges to national security, international non-proliferation regimes, and global security governance."
