What the title says. I find it interesting Congress has such a strange and knee-jerk reaction to realizing AI can be used to make biological weapons or things that could be weaponized. That's the point of the fully usable model below for an Independent Genetic Modification setup and Congress will receive this shortly, hopefully to spark open and productive debate about the ethics of AI in things like this. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377080313_A_FULLY_USABLE_MODEL_FOR_INDEPENDENT_GENETIC_MODIFICATION_XOR_STORY_PRESERVING_FAMILY What are your opinions? To me it's a tool. And getting worried about someone using AI to make biological weapons is no different from someone using a textbook to do the same things.
The debate over U.S. Congressional restrictions on AI in genetic editing centers on moral principles, safety concerns, and the pursuit of progress. Proponents of strict controls argue for preventing ethical violations and potential adverse effects on human genetics. Conversely, opponents contend that restrictions may hinder scientific discovery and its benefits, such as new genetic disease treatments and improved agricultural productivity. This debate reflects broader societal considerations about integrating cutting-edge technologies into sensitive areas like gene editing. Notably, Congress's concern about AI's dual-use potential in genetic modification, including its possible repurposing for biological weaponry, has prompted a cautious approach. The upcoming proposal for an Autonomous Genetic Modification framework aims to foster transparent and constructive discussions about AI's ethical implications in such critical applications.
Exactly. And such a great answer. The whole point of this genetics modification set up I haven't vented is to provide no logical way that there could be any error to the DNA modification which could be harmful to a person, with extreme fail-saves in order and with an ethical framework to support all of that.
If you read the paper or even just the note on the front page, the author's note you'll see the point I'm trying to make. AI is not a magic fairy that makes science and blueprints for people out of nowhere. It is symbiotic and it's only as good as the knowledge of the person using it. A person with no extreme knowledge of genetics cannot simply take out artificial intelligence and start designing biological weapons and genetic modification setups.
The challenge I always make to people is this. If it's so easy to do look at my xor story paper for the genetic setup and come up with the same thing or something of equivalent detail that's not specialist in the result in an actual genetic modification setup.
Unless you have a team and or extreme multidisciplinary knowledge by yourself it is virtually impossible to do. yes AI can generate lots of scientific information but this is virtually useless without knowing where to direct the AI and how to recognize errors and species data produced by the AI and correct them. Honestly it's more labor-intensive than not even using ai and requires more knowledge and work to use AI.
