Closing the Gap: Consolidating Terrorist Threat Intelligence in Frontier AI Governance

Global Network on Extremism and Technology · · International · AI Governance

A report from the Global Network on Extremism and Technology calls for consolidating terrorist threat intelligence within frameworks governing frontier AI systems. The work addresses what the authors see as a gap between how advanced AI is regulated and how terrorism-related risks to those systems are tracked and shared.

Why this matters: Frontier AI and counterterrorism have largely operated in separate policy worlds. This report argues that gap is a problem. If the people building safety rules for powerful AI models are not plugged into intelligence on how extremist groups actually want to use those tools, the rules will miss real threats. That matters to anyone who cares about who controls the most capable AI systems and whether governance is built on actual risk or just polished paperwork.

AI Is Learning to Write Genetic Code

This sort of research is both exciting and terrifying: The two models in question were told to generate complete genomes for a viable bacteriophage—a type of virus able to infect and replicate itself inside bacteria, destroying them from the inside. Using an existing bacteriophage as an example—ΦX174 (pronounced “fie-ex-1-7-4”), known for its ability to infect and destroy E. coli bacteria—the models generated about 700,000 potential designs, of which the researchers picked 285 that looked most promising. The researchers then synthesised new DNA molecules using those designs and inserted them…
