The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has issued a warning about the potential threats posed by artificial intelligence in the creation and deployment of chemical, biological, and nuclear risks. In a recently published report, the department highlighted the increasing ease with which global threat actors can utilize AI to develop dangerous biological agents. Current regulations and export controls are deemed inadequate to address these risks, raising concerns about the potential for widespread harm. The report calls for greater collaboration among industry, government, and academia to address regulatory challenges and gaps in oversight. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas emphasized the need for safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of AI technologies to mitigate these emerging threats and protect national security.
