Biological War: How AI, Lab Leaks and Synthetic Biology Could Trigger Global Collapse

Biological War: How AI, Lab Leaks and Synthetic Biology Could Trigger Global CollapseWhat happens if a deadly pathogen escapes from a laboratory and spreads faster than governments can respond? In this interview, author Annie Jacobsen explores the terrifying possibilities outlined in her book Biological War, examining how advances in artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, and biotechnology are changing the landscape of modern warfare.Jacobsen discusses how biological threats differ from nuclear weapons, why engineered pathogens could become accessible to individuals, and how a global outbreak could push societies toward chaos within days. Drawing on insights from military leaders, scientists, and security experts, she highlights the urgent need for transparency, preparedness, and international cooperation to prevent future biological catastrophes.A deep dive into the future of bioweapons, pandemic risks, technological disruption, and the challenges of protecting civilization in an era of rapid scientific advancement.#BiologicalWar #Bioweapons #SyntheticBiology #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #LabLeak #PandemicRisk #Biosecurity #GlobalSecurity #FutureOfWar #AnnieJacobsen #Technology #Geopolitics #Science #Civilization #ExistentialRisk
