Risks of AI in Bioterrorism

These AIs have gotten dramatically more powerful, even faster than I

expected, and they're now capable of causing

bioterrorism risk. Uh, we need to monitor

things like creating a, a dangerous virus, uh,

to, to see if that's happening.

This is absolutely absurd. So nobody

else other than Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation are the

very first, the very first people to

use artificial intelligence to design and

manufacture synthetic viruses that do not exist

in nature. They made 16 bacteriophages, none of

which are found in nature, and they were able to self-replicate in

the bacteria, killed the bacteria, and basically

spawned new synthetic bacteriophages.

And the lead author on this paper who designed it, who carried out

most of the experiments, is funded by the Gates Foundation.

And so this is extremely dangerous.

Um, the ne-- so now basically bioterrorists, um, you

know, they're jumping with joy right now.

This technology needs to be shut down
