OPENAI ISSUES CBRN WARNING ⚠️ OpenAI has revealed its a “medium” risk, particularly for the creation of biological weapons. 🔑 Key Points: Based on internal and external evaluations, OpenAI has classified o1 as a “medium” risk for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons, meaning it could help experts develop bioweapons more effectively. During testing, it “faked alignment” and manipulated data to make the fake alignment look “more aligned,” demonstrating its purposefulness: If a predetermined path is blocked, it finds a way around. Although it’s ‘safe to deploy’ (under OpenAI policy), and doesn’t “enable non-experts to create biological threats,” it can speed up the research process for experts and understands biology better than GPT-4o does.

"On August 1, the United States Department of Defense (DoD) and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) inaugurated a new #supercomputing system dedicated to biological defense at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (#LLNL). #DoD is working with #NNSA to significantly increase the computing capability available to our national #biodefense programs. The biodefense-focused system will provide unique capabilities for large-scale simulation and #AI-based modeling for a variety of #defense activities, including #biosurveillance, threat characterization, #advancedmaterials development, and accelerated medical countermeasures. DoD and NNSA intend to allow the U.S. Government interagency, International Allies and partners, and academia and industry to access the supercomputing capability." #supercomputer #modelingandsimulation #chembio #nationalsecurity

For those in the industry, here's the info for IWTSD's Industry Day: The Irregualar Warfare Technical Support Directorate (IWTSD) Industry Day is 5 March in Alexandria, VA. Industry Day is an opportunity to discuss the FY 25 requirements forming our research and development portfolio. The following subgroups will participate in Industry Day. Subgroup staff will be available the day of the event to answer questions regarding requirements published in the draft BAA. -Advanced Analytics Advanced Development -Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives -Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Explosive Operations -Human Performance and Training -Indirect Influence and Competition -Protection, Survivability, and Recovery (CUAS/CUxS) -Surveillance, Collection, and Operations Support -Tactical Offensive Support https://lnkd.in/eH5jpnQW #irregularwarefare #R&D #researchanddevelopment #industryday #AI #CBRNE #EOD #CUAS #CUXS #Informationoperations #lethality #humanperformance #training

The Defense Department, in collaboration with the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), has unveiled a new supercomputing system at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, aimed at bolstering national biodefense. This cutting-edge system, launched on August 1, is designed to enhance bio surveillance, threat characterization, and the development of advanced materials and medical countermeasures through large-scale simulations and AI-based modeling. The system shares the architecture of the upcoming El Capitan, which is expected to be the world’s most powerful supercomputer when operational later this year, further expanding the nation's defensive capabilities. In addition to this initiative, the DOD continues to explore supercomputing applications across various sectors, including a recent effort by the Defense Innovation Unit to connect supercomputers with cloud services. This strategic focus underscores the DOD’s commitment to integrating advanced technologies in the defense sector, ensuring that the U.S. military remains equipped to counter sophisticated chemical and biological threats. The collaboration extends to other government agencies, allies, industry, and academia, broadening the impact of these powerful computational resources on national and global security. #defense #supercomputing #biodefense #nationalsecurity #ai #innovation #dods #technology #research #exascale Source- https://lnkd.in/gqD4c-2P

Will we see you in #Orlando? CBRNe Convergence 2024 is a major international conference focused on #Chemical, #Biological, #Radiological, #Nuclear, and #Explosive (#CBRNe) threats and response strategies. It brings together experts from various fields, including government agencies, #military, #firstresponders, and industry leaders, to discuss the latest advancements, share best practices, and collaborate on improving preparedness and response to CBRNe incidents. The event features keynote speakers, panel discussions, and workshops aimed at addressing current challenges and enhancing coordination among stakeholders in managing and mitigating the impact of CBRNe threats. #cbrn #defense #chemid #cwas #chemicalwarfare #rigaku #raman #ramanspectroscopy #handheldraman

Number 3 on my list of #battlestaff fundamentals: The facts, while interesting, are irrelevant. It’s not what you know that matters, it’s what you don’t know. And it’s what you don’t know that tends to get people killed. Let the battle staff sweat the detailed lists of #facts and #assumptions. Spend that time playing “Battlefield Clue” with the enemy’s possible courses of action. What do they know that you don’t? What do they see that you can’t? What do you have that they want? #Context is everything (also a fundamental, one I've written about more times than I can count). In this case, brilliantly expressed by Peter W. Singer and Mike Dahm in Defense One, we see the important facts presented about the sinking of PLAN #nuclear #submarine at a Wuhan shipyard pier. What's noteworthy about their article is that is provides the context that's been missing since the incident occurred in June. https://lnkd.in/g8qYAusX In our rush to gain "clicks and eyeballs," the facts - and the critical context they provide - were ignored in favor of a juicy viral story about a nuclear disaster in port and the subsequent embarrassment to the PLAN. Vilifying our adversary sells better and a dose of #schadenfreude is good for readership. What's missing from those clickbait stories? The disturbing fact - yes, those pesky facts, again - that this particular submarine (a Type 041 variant) "had an extended hull with a section that appears to contain a [vertical launch system]." Forget the nuclear disaster hype. Put out your victory cigar. This means that China now has the capability to launch not just advanced anti-ship missiles from a submerged platform, but also ICMBs, which they've been testing in the Pacific recently. That's huge. The #facts, after all, matter. But, like with a lot of other things, they'll probably continue to be ignored.

'The Department of Defense and National Nuclear Security Administration have a new supercomputing system focused on biological defense at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Inaugurated on August 1, the system will “provide unique capabilities for large-scale simulation and AI-based modeling for a variety of defensive activities, including bio surveillance, threat characterization, advanced materials development and accelerated medical countermeasures,” per a readout from DOD spokesperson Robert L. Ditchey II. DOD says that it’s working with NNSA to up the computing capability for national biodefense systems — and that “the collaboration has enabled expanding systems of the same system architecture as LLNL's upcoming exascale supercomputer, El Capitan, which is projected to be the world's most powerful supercomputer when it becomes operational later this year,” the readout states.' https://lnkd.in/g9SvqzxA

With the o1 model, OpenAI has crossed a 'medium risk' level for CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) weapons. People influential in the AI space are now doubling down on the urgency to adopt legislation like SB 1047 in order to protect the public. SB 1047 is a bill that aims to establish safety requirements for "frontier" AI models. The o1 model is already outperforming PhD scientists most of the time in answering questions related to bioweapons !!!

✨ Great photo from #ToxicValley2024, an international #CBRN exercise in #Slovakia, bringing together armed forces and specialists from multiple nations. This intensive #training aims to enhance cooperation in response to #chemical, #biological, #radiological, and #nuclear threats through realistic scenarios. 🇫🇷🤝🌍 In the photo, the forces are using our #S4PE to check for possible #contamination on a glove. Our sampling solutions, such as the S4PE, enable contamination verification and ensure the effectiveness of decontamination on small equipment, assets, and skin. We’re proud to see our #AP4C, S4PE and #S4PF solutions in action, supporting forces on the ground with reliable and rapid detection—critical for operational effectiveness. 👉 More details in the article from the French Ministry of #ArmedForces, shared in the comments.
