Artificial intelligence is rapidly expanding access to sophisticated knowledge, raising new questions about how emerging technology could reshape global security. On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer speaks with investigative journalist and author Annie Jacobsen about the potential threat posed by biological weapons and how increasingly capable AI systems could lower barriers that once required extensive scientific expertise, resources, and training. Jacobsen argues that biological weapons may present a particularly significant risk because they can require fewer specialized resources than nuclear weapons, while AI could make advanced scientific knowledge more accessible.
Bremmer and Jacobsen also explore the challenge of creating effective safeguards as AI development moves faster than traditional regulatory systems. Their conversation examines gaps in existing AI guardrails, the respective roles of governments and technology companies, and the broader challenge of ensuring humanity’s ability to manage powerful technologies keeps pace with its ability to develop them.
As a leading global political risk expert, Ian Bremmer brings audiences a timely perspective on how transformative technologies intersect with geopolitics, national security, business, and global governance. His ability to connect rapidly evolving developments with their broader implications helps leaders better understand the forces shaping the global landscape.
