Tencent's AI chief says AI bioweapons are coming, but closing off models isn't the answer

Tencent chief AI scientist Vinces Yao Shunyu stated that artificial intelligence will soon possess the capability to assist in the creation of bioweapons. He argues that strictly closing off models is not a viable solution, as open-source safety measures are easily bypassed. Instead, he advocates for a balanced approach to development that addresses the security risks of both open and closed systems.
