President Donald Trump\u2019s refusal to regulate AI could put Americans at risk of attacks from biological weapons.<\/p>\n

In an interview between CBS News contributor Chris Krebs and President Joe Biden\u2019s former adviser Ben Buchanan (who now advises Anthropic), the two men discussed the implications for AI on biological weapons.<\/p>\n

“I would look at these current models not as cyber models, but as generally capable models,\u201d Buchanan told Krebs. \u201cThey can do expert tasks in a wide variety of areas, not just in cyber, also in bio and the like.” As a result, the Biden administration prioritized AI regulation, arguing that \u201cthis was something that we were very alert to in the Biden administration. There’s a long section on bio in the president’s executive order in 2023. There’s upside \u2014 AI can do a lot for medical discovery \u2014 but there also is legitimate concern that AI is outperforming PhD-level virologists on virology questions. And that could abet a bio weapons risk that is not hypothetical.”<\/p>\n

Krebs then told Buchanan that AI is being inserted into Americans\u2019 lives so rapidly that \u201cwe’re now entering this governance space where technology development is moving faster than democratic oversight and control can allow or provide.”<\/p>\n

Krebs added, “They don’t really understand the technology. It’s very complex, understanding how to meaningfully intervene. That’s consistent with the American regulatory tradition \u2014 light touch, free markets, capital markets.”<\/p>\n

Buchanan explained that the Biden administration attempted to address this because they \u201cbuilt a capability at the AI Safety Institute to do quick, voluntary testing of AI systems, including for cyber risk and for bio risk. So I think the tests themselves can go quickly, but that doesn’t mean the government is going to do that in a fulsome way. So the jury, I think, is still out on how the president chooses to implement this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buchanan said that, despite Trump\u2019s resistance to meaningful AI regulation, “you are seeing some interesting parallels in direction of travel that’s consistent between the administration, the Congress, and Democrats and Republicans, that understands something needs to be done. We’re just not quite sure what the mechanisms are just yet.”<\/p>\n

Despite this push to regulate AI, The Hill\u2019s Miranda Nazzaro wrote that \u201cwhile several tech leaders are making their relations \u2014 both good and bad \u2014 with the president public, [OpenAI CEO Sam] Altman has largely kept quiet about the president and the extent of his relationship with him. It comes as OpenAI prepares an initial public offering, and Altman faces his own blowback from the anti-AI movement.\u201d Altman and the other AI executives are reportedly pushing to keep regulations from being applied to their business.<\/p>\n

There have been some breaks between the Trump administration and Big AI. Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei ended up in a rift with the Trump administration after they refused to comply with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth\u2019s demand that they violate their own code of ethics.<\/p>\n
