The statement by the United States issued as document BWC/MSP/2025/WP.14 at the 2025 Meeting of States Parties states that advanced and emerging technologies, including AI, can aid Biological Weapons Convention verification and implementation and help stop dangerous dual-use biological research, and calls on every State Party to join its efforts to seek ways in which AI and other tools can help verify Convention compliance, enhance transparency and strengthen the collective ability of States Parties to detect, defend against and respond to biological threats.

Provision Risk domain · provision ID bwc-us-statement-ai-for-verification Subject version English text of document BWC/MSP/2025/WP.14, submitted by the United States · Published 2025-12-17 · Effective date not established Date 2025-12-17 · publication Scope and limits A statement of one State Party's position, recorded as what the document says. It is not a decision of the Meeting, not a described method, and not evidence that AI aids verification, that any technology has been used for it, or that any State Party joined the call; the statement's assertions about other States Parties are not recorded. The call is addressed to other States Parties, which no instrument requires of them, so the provision kind is the risk and subject domain of the passage rather than a required action; whether states_provision suits a national statement at all is an open question for the maintainer.

An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.
Relation. An exact framework edition, or another document with an exact expression, states one provision: a capability threshold or risk level and its trigger, a required safeguard or action, a decision authority (who decides, recommends, can overrule or is informed), a stated exception, or another statement of its content, such as a licence term or a prospectus statement. The passage records what the document says, not implementation, compliance or effectiveness. Provisions with the same key align across editions of one family.
Date. Date on the document; the 2025 Meeting of States Parties sat in Geneva on 15-17 December 2025. The document is marked as issued without formal editing.
