Claim and evidence Close ×
America's AI Action Plan states, in its "Invest in Biosecurity" section, that while AI will unlock potential in biology it could create new pathways for malicious actors to synthesize harmful pathogens and other biomolecules, and that the solution is a multi-tiered approach to screen for malicious actors together with new tools and infrastructure for more effective screening.

Reuse No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and short attributed quotations (at most 50 words each). Recheck terms before wider redistribution. Check notes Candidate pack passage, AI and biosecurity (research/ai-bio). The quotation (15 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28 and again at admission on 2026-10-30, in a fresh retrieval whose SHA-256 equals the pack’s. Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. The paragraph continues that the solution is a multi-tiered approach designed to screen for malicious actors, along with new tools and infrastructure for more effective screening (not quoted: the PDF text layer breaks "multi-tiered" across a line). No human editorial review. Status and meaning Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor . 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. Dated by the plan's release, as recorded in the dataset claim recorded separately.
