Advances in artificial intelligence are accelerating the capacity to decode, manipulate, and weaponize biological information at unprecedented scale. This panel examines the convergence of AI and biotechnology in enabling precision targeting of genetic traits—reshaping deterrence, attribution, and the ethics of warfare itself. As genomic datasets expand and machine learning enhances predictive bio-design, the boundaries between defense, health security, and population control blur. What happens when code meets code—digital and biological—and selective vulnerability becomes a function of data? Bringing together experts in AI governance, bioethics, and national security, this session explores the emerging landscape of algorithmic biology and the profound implications of an era in which intelligence itself becomes a biological instrument.
