Aligning innovation and security in AI-enabled biotechnology: a framework for designing and funding mutually reinforcing approaches
Steph Guerra
The convergence of artificial intelligence and biotechnology is transforming the life sciences and enabling rapid design, development, and analysis across the research lifecycle. However, this acceleration also heightens the risk for potential biological misuse concerns. Building a sustainable and secure bioeconomy requires moving beyond rhetoric about balancing innovation and security toward practical, operational efforts that do both. This paper proposes a framework for initiatives that embed
