The British government announced on the 24th that it will set up an artificial intelligence biosafety laboratory, use cutting-edge AI technology to strengthen the monitoring and response to biological threats, and accelerate research and development of medical countermeasures such as vaccines and drugs. The British government issued a communiqué on the same day saying that the development of AI technology is creating new opportunities for scientific discovery and disease research, but increasingly powerful AI systems may also bring new biosafety risks and lower the technical threshold for carrying out pest activities. In order to strengthen resilience against biological threats, the government decided to establish an AI biosafety laboratory.
