There has long been an interest in developing what might be termed germ warfare. The infamous experiments carried out by the Japanese at Harbin during WW2 perhaps being the most notorious. No matter how repulsive such developments might seem we can be sure every major country is already deeply engaged in germ warfare experimentation and if there are misgivings they are swept aside on the basis that we have to be prepared for whatever a potential enemy might do. The history of even well inentioned scientific experimentation is rich with things having gone wrong. Of course AI will be seen as an important tool to be used in the interest of national security. Flawed humans with AI that can also make mistakes? What could possibly go wrong?
