Washington Post calls for US Manhattan Project on biodefense
Original: Opinion | AI capabilities mean America needs a Manhattan Project for biodefense
A Washington Post opinion piece argues that rapidly advancing artificial intelligence capabilities now pose biological risks serious enough to warrant a Manhattan Project-scale American effort on biodefense. The authors contend the United States must mobilize scientists, government agencies and industry on the scale of the WWII atomic program to detect and counter AI-enabled biological threats before they emerge.
Why now: Concerns about AI accelerating biological weapons development are growing among policymakers and commentators.
