We’re taking steps to accelerate defensive progress in biology:
- Launching Rosalind Biodefense to help trusted builders develop new biodefense and pandemic preparedness capabilities.
- Expanding trusted access to GPT-Rosalind for select U.S. government and allied partners supporting public health and biodefense missions.
Advances in biology can strengthen our ability to prevent, detect, and respond to biological threats.
Our goal is to help build a more robust ecosystem – giving trusted defenders frontier AI to develop and operate new defenses for public health and biodefense.
