OpenAI warns AI could enable terrorist bio‑attacks

OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman warned that the next generation of artificial‑intelligence models could be misused by terrorist groups to design new biological weapons, stating the threat is no longer theoretical. He also cautioned that the same technology could enable a "world‑shaking" cyber attack within the year. Altman urged governments and industry to accelerate safeguards and oversight to prevent such misuse. The dual threat highlights growing concerns over AI's potential to amplify both bio‑security and cyber‑security risks.
