We put the narrative on AI risks & NatSec under a microscope, finding the focus on hypothetical AI bioweapons is warping policy and ignoring real & serious harms of current AI use in surveillance, targeting, etc.

Instead of crafting solutions for hypothetical harms, we advocate focusing on already existing and very significant safety issues--namely AI’s reliance on PII & the vulns created by foundation models' use in NatSec.
