AI based drug discovery was successfully used to recreate discovery of harmful molecules including sarin, many other human invented toxins, and even pathogens such as Ebola.
I’d wager that’s what the “Sarin in AI real” is about.
Take this into context with COVID and the related drugs, and what we know about the bio labs and targeting specific people based on their genetics.
“By inverting the use of our machine learning models, we had transformed our innocuous generative model from a helpful tool of medicine to a generator of likely deadly molecules.” (Ekins et al., Nature article)
"Hey AI, give me a zombie plague."
"I found 347 suitable combinations that would result in 'zombie plague'. Should I begin sequencing?"
Literally though... what might be more likely is “hey AI create me a disease that harms specifically people who have {this gene} or {these genes}”... you know the term “ethnic cleansing”? There’s no clearer and more straight forward way to go about it than that. Messed up stuff. Technology will be the death of all of us. Specifically applications of AI.
Quite right on all counts
