And AI, unfortunately, potentially could accelerate that a lot.
That 10 plus year timeline could come down.
I think one of the most famous biologists in the world, George Church, has said that he is concerned that AI could really speed up that timeline and we could be looking at sub 10 years.
And that would be very concerning.
That's very, very bad.
It's very, very bad.
We must not let that happen.
It is crucial that we do not.
Then I would say then a third bucket, and people might be slightly unsatisfied by this, is something like disease X. Because remember, we hadn't really heard of mirror biology seriously until about 10 years ago.
And now we've had multiple Nobel winners saying, wow, this is some of the most terrifying types of biology we've ever seen.
This must never happen.
There are people calling for a global moratorium.
What other kinds of things are out there that we don't know yet?
Because in 2000, we wouldn't have imagined there was a bacterium that could spread across the entire world and cause an extinction of multiple species.
But apparently now it turns out that that is a theoretical possibility.
And so I am really concerned as well that AI could enable
threats beyond anything we've ever seen before but i appreciate that that's always a very easy almost trite thing to say i think we need to be very careful i think we need to adopt the precautionary principle here because we know we now have an existence proof that there was such a thing in mirror biology there may be more out there we must not go looking for them
You're right, I don't think there's going to be an AI-enabled, let's just say, viral pandemic.
It doesn't necessarily have to be flu in 2026.
I'm something like 1% to 2% this year.
