AI might increase biological risks substantially. But it could also transform our ability to detect pathogen outbreaks. In a new piece, I lay out how the US government can generate the data necessary for AI-enabled pathogen detection.

How can we verify that AI ChemBio safety tests were properly run? Today we're launching STREAM: a checklist for more transparent eval results. I read a lot of model reports. Often they miss important details, like human baselines. STREAM helps make peer review more systematic.

At the Nucleic Acid Observatory, we usually rely on Illumina technology for wastewater viral sequencing. Recently we benchmarked different Oxford Nanopore sequencing workflows. In a new post, we examine these workflows in detail and explain why one emerges as our top choice.
