Congratulations to NTI's @patriciajaworek.bsky.social for being a part of this impressive cohort!
We have proposed a managed access framework (a way to ensure we're using AI for good) for biological AI tools, matching who can use a given tool to the risk level of the model rather than blanket restrictions. @Stephenturner.us covers this in his latest piece. ⤵️

Rapid advances in AI and its convergence with the life sciences present new biosecurity risks that require innovative solutions and action by governments and technologists around the world.
“This is basically what happened in the case of Fukushima, where they lost power and then the cooling, and they had a meltdown,” NTI's Scott Roecker says to @sipappas.bsky.social of @sciam.bsky.social on the risks of bombing Iran's nuclear power plant.

NTI's Christine Wormuth recently spoke with both @apnews.com and ABC News on a possible U.S. military operation to remove Iran’s highly enriched uranium. Securing Iran’s nuclear material with ground troops would be a “very complex and high risk military operation,” she told the AP.
Over the course of two years, U.S. and Chinese experts will work to develop joint insights and policy-relevant recommendations for how the United States and China can manage strategic competition in a fraught geopolitical landscape.

While it is difficult to predict how the conflict in Iran will unfold, it is critical to reiterate that nuclear weapons have not been used in war in more than 80 years and it would be a monumental mistake to take this record for granted.
The @IAEAorg.bsky.social confirmed military strikes landed within 75 meters of Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant. From Zaporizhzhia to Bushehr, nuclear power plants should never be targets of modern warfare.

We’re proud to announce a brand-new nti.org!
25 years of web development wasn’t really working for us, so we decided it was time to get back to basics. It might even look familiar to some of you!
The key insight: coordinated orderbooks, where multiple buyers commit to the same proven reactor design, can break the chicken-and-egg cycle holding the industry back. Read the @Axios.com coverage here. (2/2) ⤵️
