Miles sits down with Dr. Steven Quay—a senior fellow at Hudson Institute as well as the founder and chief executive officer of Atossa Therapeutics, Inc.—to discuss the evolving landscape of emerging technology and artificial intelligence–enabled biological warfare operations. With the increased potential for dual-use technology in hybrid warfare, the international community needs to develop strategies to prevent the proliferation of biothreats and biological weapons, and adequately prepare for future military and public health crises. The conversation pulls from the lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, provides an assessment of the current capabilities of dual-use biothreats within China’s military doctrine, and critiques the current lack of global governance infrastructure to regulate AI-enabled biotechnologies.
