But we can talk about that a little bit more.
But we really said in 2024...
Remember, the Soviet program in the 1980s could already create pandemic viruses.
So unless we're thinking about much worse than any known virus, it was unlikely that AI could really be helping them much more than they could already achieve that sort of factor.
On the other end, novices, we were just pretty skeptical that they could do much.
I think this has been partially borne out, though maybe the picture is changing.
There have been a number of different uplift studies, so-called.
So these are randomized controlled trials.
You take, you know, 50 undergraduates and you give them merely Google search without Gemini, so no AI.
And then you take another 50 undergraduates and you say, congratulations, here's a frontier large language model.
And then you go, please write me instructions to make a terrifying biological weapon.
And at least past public ones, and you see these sometimes in the model cards from the frontier AI companies, they've tried to do this.
There was some stuff from Rand as well.
And most of them come out
not really looking like there's much uplift.
That's just started to change.
Quietly, I say quietly because people don't talk about it enough, Anthropic, who make the Claude models, they also have been releasing uplift studies publicly in their model cards.
And they are starting to notice among PhDs, and so this links to this mid-tier actor, that there really is uplift.
At something like Claude 3.7 Sonnet, so early 25,
Basically, the AI-assisted group was not doing better.
