AI has been a powerful accelerant for biological research,
rapidly opening up new frontiers in medicine and public health.
But that progress can also make it easier for bad actors to
manufacture new biological threats. In this episode, Tristan and
Daniel sit down with biologist Kevin Esvelt to discuss why AI has
been such a boon for biologists and how we can safeguard society
against the threats that AIxBio poses.
