I don't get the concern over AIs creating BioWeapons. This isn't code or software or something a hobbyist can pick up on the weekend. I have a Masters in Biochemistry and spent 3+ years in a biochem research lab manipulating e coli to make mutations in a single domain of a single human gene. The lab required a million dollars of equipment (and this was 2004 dollars!): centrifuges, incubators, precision pipettemen, deep freezers etc. Plus an entire University of support infrastructure. Even with all of that it was difficult and tedious, i made about 10 mutated preoteins in that time. To make a bioweapon, you not only need that equipment but also biohazard containment so you don't kill yourself before you make the Super Bug. So imo, the only people who could make an AI Super Bug are the people that can already make an Antique Super Bug. AI doesn't let you just go to Best Buy and grab a centrifuge, autoclave and start mass producing plagues... Am I missing something?
