Over 100 researchers have raised concerns about unrestricted access to biological datasets, warning that it could enable AI systems to create dangerous viruses. They advocate for stronger safeguards and a new framework to regulate access to sensitive pathogen data. While open access has accelerated scientific discovery, certain biological data poses biosecurity risks. The proposed framework introduces a five-tier Biosecurity Data Level (BDL) system to categorize pathogen data by risk level, with specific recommendations for ensuring safe access.
