OpenAI Partners with Los Alamos to Study Safe Use of Multimodal AI Models in Bioscience Research

Jul 10, 2024, 03:00 PM

OpenAI has announced a partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory to study the safe use of AI in bioscience research. This collaboration aims to evaluate how advanced multimodal AI models, including GPT-4o with Voice Mode enabled, can assist scientists in laboratory settings. The initiative is in line with a White House executive order and focuses on ensuring that AI tools are used safely and effectively in real-world lab environments. Los Alamos has also established the AI Risks and Threat Assessments Group (AIRTAG) to further this mission. This partnership marks a significant step in integrating AI with bioscientific research while addressing potential risks and biosecurity concerns.
