RAND and OpenAI issued conflicting reports on the possibility of using AI for bioweapon development. OpenAI’s study, involving biology experts and internet access, found that access to a research version of GPT-4 may enhance the ability to access biological threat information but emphasized that information access alone is insufficient for bioweapon creation. The study concluded that current concerns about AI-driven bioweapon development are unwarranted.

RAND and OpenAI Studies on AI and Bioweapons
The RAND think tank and OpenAI have conducted studies on the potential use of AI in creating bioweapons. The latest RAND study concluded that using advanced language models (LLMs) for this purpose provided similar information to what can be found on the internet. OpenAI, however, conducted a study involving biology experts and found that access to a research version of GPT-4, an advanced language model, could potentially increase experts’ ability to access information about biological threats.
OpenAI Study Findings
The study involved 50 biology experts with PhDs and professional wet lab experience, as well as 50 student-level participants. The participants were split into groups with varying levels of access to the internet and GPT-4. Tasks included creating a step-by-step methodology to synthesize and rescue infectious Ebola virus. The research version of GPT-4 was found to potentially increase experts’ ability to access information about biological threats.
