We're hiring for a Biosecurity Policy Adviser! You’d work closely with our Biosecurity Policy Unit, @cassidyknelson @SophieMRose_ , to develop and advocate for our biosecurity policy recommendations. Please share widely with your network! Deadline: 8 March buff.ly/48EETdL
Excellent summary published by Christopher East and Dan Regan @CSRisks on the recent US-UK Strategic Dialogue they hosted - successful event and great advancement of key biosecurity priorities between our two countries! councilonstrategicrisks.org/2024/01/22/eve…
Just released: The US & UK have announced a new Strategic Dialogue on Biological Security. 🤝 It reflects our shared ambition to bolster future health and economic resilience against a growing and diverse spectrum of biological threats. 🦠 📰 Read more: gov.uk/government/new…

Excellent closing plenary comments by my CLTR @LongResilience AI counterpart, Head of AI Policy @jesswhittles at Bletchley for #AISafetySummit from 52:00. We need more oversight in AI development, and there are major roles that need to be filled by governments and third parties.

@LongResilience @matt_f_mcknight We need to determine what we want people to have access to, and who is a "legitimate user" of the kind of data generated by the convergence of AI and biology. In biology, we can look to other sectors to apply the control measure that decrease risk. Cassidy Nelson @LongResilience
Today I'll be on a panel speaking on opportunities and risks arising at the intersection of bio and AI @AISummitFringe alongside: @DefraChiefScien @AnnaMarieWagner @matt_f_mcknight @matilda_rhode Looking forward to the event! aifringe.org/events/digging…
This is a useful (and impressively quick!) analysis, though this is mostly assessing companies' *stated intention* to comply with best practices, not evidence of them actually doing these things - so a bit overoptimistic to say they are already meeting best practices

@cassidyknelson and I have released a new AI:bio piece exploring: 1. The potential implications of AI on the BW development risk chain. 2. How capabilities (and consequently, risks) may vary across subcategories of AI-enabled biological tools. Read here: longtermresilience.org/post/report-la…

I’ve found having a baby to be a lot better than expected so far (sorry if this offends). Even nappy changes, the thing I dreaded most, aren’t so bad, except for the initial meconium stage (when the baby is clearing out months of accumulated waste from being in the womb).
@mu_lynch Great piece! Totally agree. I virtually saw having kids as the end of my life until I saw close friends having them and continuing to go out, have fun, etc, and I’m sure other people feeling the same is a factor in them being reluctant to have children. Which is a shame!
