Leading experts in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have expressed concerns about the potential weaponization of AI by rogue states or terrorists to create bioweapons. During a congressional hearing on July 25, Yoshua Bengio, a renowned AI professor, emphasized the need for international collaboration to regulate AI development, drawing parallels with nuclear technology.

The hearing also touched upon potential antitrust issues, with Senator Josh Hawley warning against tech giants monopolizing the AI landscape. The attendees stressed the need to brainstorm and implement regulatory measures for AI, including the establishment of international research labs and a dedicated regulatory body for AI.
