AI and the New Age of Bioweapons

The current landscape faces critical challenges regarding AI and the emergence of synthetic pathogens, signaling a new age of bioweapons. Simultaneously, the proliferation of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation is eroding societal trust. Consequently, the principle of Zero Trust is becoming increasingly essential for managing information, mirroring its established importance in access control. These trends highlight a growing need for preparation and systemic trust frameworks to combat both biological and digital threats in the modern era.
