AI Malicious Use Surges in Biological Weapons Development

The UK-backed International AI Safety Report highlights growing concern about malicious use of advanced models in biological weapons development.

Authors say dual-use capabilities in frontier systems require stronger export controls, red-team testing and monitoring of research access. Governments are weighing how to restrict model weights and training data without halting legitimate biomedical research.

The report forms part of a wider 2026 safety agenda linking national security agencies with AI labs.
