• Understanding AI-Facilitated Biological Weapon Development

  Audio versions of blogs and papers from BlueDot courses. This report breaks down the categorisation of LLMs and BDTs into more specific subcategories of AI-enabled biological tools at each stage of the risk chain, from ideation to production of biological weapons. By being more specific about the existing and potential tools at each stage, we can have more precise discussions about the risks.Original text:https://www.longtermresilience.org/post/report-launch-examining-risks-at-the-intersection-of-ai-and-bioAuthor(s): Cassidy Nelson and Sophie RoseA podcast by BlueDot Impact.

• Info Hazard Guidance for Biosecurity Discussions

  Audio versions of blogs and papers from BlueDot courses. This document introduces the concept of information hazards (often called 'info hazards') and reasoning for why we should be cautious around them. It also provides a list of concrete examples that seem safe to discuss, stressing the importance of maintaining a balance between openness and conscientiousness. It's worth noting that reasonable people disagree about the degree of caution with which to approach info hazards. Original text: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d8269g3b-_GeNAPwxGZ8vqWuCzw7F1a5dwHdrxXH4xw/edit?usp=sharingAuthor(s): Chris Bakerlee and Tessa AlexanianA podcast by BlueDot Impact.

• High-Risk Human-Caused Pathogen Exposure Events From 1975-2016

  Audio versions of the blog posts and papers from BlueDot courses. This table documents the known human-caused pathogen exposure events from 1975-2016, both accidental and deliberate, from peaceful research and bioweapons programmes. Using this data, we can start to build an idea of the base rate of these events to begin to inform how likely we might expect human-caused pandemics to be in the future.Original text: https://f1000research.com/articles/10-752Author(s): David Manheim and Gregory LewisA podcast by BlueDot Impact.

• Biosecurity and the Goals of This Course

  Audio versions of blogs and papers from BlueDot courses. This introduction to the course underscores its focus on mitigating the risk of catastrophic pandemics, a specific aspect of the complex and multidisciplinary field of biosecurity. It clarifies various interpretations of 'biosecurity', categorises different sources of pandemic risk, and underscores the need for collaboration across numerous disciplines and skill sets to effectively prevent pandemics. We also highlight the core values of the course - a scout mindset, healthy scepticism, active learning and community.Original text:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1niZllKaLbYhVvA2ls9c5pVxgJyJfXr_IiU1XYaf9jCM/edit?usp=sharingAuthor(s): Will SaunterA podcast by BlueDot Impact.

• Nowcasting Epidemics of Novel Pathogens: Lessons from COVID-19

  Audio versions of blogs and papers from BlueDot courses.This paper discusses critical questions for gaining early situational awareness in an outbreak, using COVID-19 as an example. It highlights key queries about the pathogen, transmission modes, population vulnerability, and available medical countermeasures. The paper shows how timely answers to these questions can inform effective public health responses, resource allocation, and policy decisions, ultimately improving outbreak management.Original text:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01278-wAuthor(s):Joseph T.
