Understanding AI-Facilitated Biological Weapon Development

Audio versions of blogs and papers from BlueDot courses. 

This report breaks down the categorisation of LLMs and BDTs into more specific subcategories of AI-enabled biological tools at each stage of the risk chain, from ideation to production of biological weapons. By being more specific about the existing and potential tools at each stage, we can have more precise discussions about the risks.
