GoKawiilAI molecule generators raise alarm over bioweapon risks in biotech
Researchers at Collaborations Pharmaceuticals found their AI drug-discovery tool could generate 40,000 potentially toxic chemical warfare molecules in under six hours, some more lethal than known nerve agents. The finding, first reported in 2022, is now cited by biosecurity experts as evidence that AI systems and increasingly accessible gene-editing tools could lower the barrier to creating dangerous biological or chemical agents.
