If you're interested in understanding AI capabilities and risks, this report has you covered. It was an honour to help write this and contribute to a huge effort to synthesise scientific evidence into a valuable guide for policymakers. Take a look!
Today, we are publishing the first-ever International AI Safety Report, backed by 30 countries and the OECD, UN, and EU. It summarises the state of the science on AI capabilities and risks, and how to mitigate those risks. 🧵 Link to full Report: 1/16

Thrilled we are now able to share our investigation into whether new AI protein design tools can fool DNA synthesis screening! 🥳 Was a privilege working with amazing folk at @Microsoft @TwistBioscience @idtdna @IBBIS_bio @RTX_News Raytheon @aclid @Battelle on this timely issue🧬
Identifying & mitigating an AI-enabled biosecurity vulnerability. Confidential effort on biosecurity red-teaming leads to distrib. of "patches" that bolster DNA synthesis screening. Article: Work continues. @MSFTResearch @TwistBioscience @aclid @EngBioRC
