Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming part of the working infrastructure of the biosciences. AI models can predict biomolecular structures, design proteins, rank variants, annotate images, recommend strains and optimise experimental conditions.
arXiv:2606. 19899v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper addresses a rapidly emerging policy challenge: how to generate and interpret credible evidence about the biological capabilities and risks of AI scientists, or agentic AI systems capable of autonomously or collaboratively performing multi-step scientific tasks.
