Toward relational biosecurity: understanding AI-enabled biology as a connected system

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are rapidly expanding what can be predicted and produced in biotechnology, transforming the life sciences into a computational, distributed, and increasingly design-oriented enterprise. At the same time, biosecurity frameworks remain largely organized around the control of known agents, materials, and individual technologies, creating a growing mismatch between emerging capability and current approaches to risk. In AI-enabled biology, capability is increa
