Former White House Chief Biosecurity Officer: The AI Biosecurity Risk Signals I’m Watching

A former White House chief biosecurity officer writes that President Trump and several major U.S. AI companies signed the White House Superintelligence Accord, which requires companies to strengthen internal controls, including biosecurity measures. However, companies largely determine the standards for safeguards and when to act. He notes that Anthropic has disclosed five cases of models being misused in the biological domain and banned the accounts involved. Its CEO has called on the UN Security Council to support a ban on using AI to create biological weapons.
