AI is moving into high stakes decision environments, raising accountability concerns.
4. AI breakthroughs raise new scientific risks:
AI systems can now autonomously design and run thousands of biological experiments.
Implications:
* Faster scientific discovery
* But also:
* Biosecurity risks
* Governance gaps
AI is crossing into autonomous research, a major paradigm shift.
5. AI Security & Privacy Concerns Are Escalating:
Growing attention on AI-driven cybersecurity risks and data privacy.
AI tools are increasingly capable of:
