Though Saddam Hussein tried to develop them and North Korea is
accused of stockpiling them, biological weapons have been
considered taboo for decades. Theoretically they’re banned. But
intelligence agencies and military leaders are increasingly warning
of wider clandestine programmes to develop deadly mass toxins, and
A.I. is lowering the barriers to entry dramatically. As governments
scramble to keep up and frontier tech runs out of control, are we
about to enter a new age of bioweapons and bioterrorism?
Gavin Esler talks to Dr Cassidy Nelson, director of biosecurity
policy at the Centre for Long-Term Resilience, about this rising
threat and what we can do about it. Advertisers! Want to
