AI biology tools (protein design, CRISPR design and more) sometimes publish biosecurity statements. Add new tools to the repository and compare what they promise.
Status: The repository exists. Keeping it current, and analysing it, are open.
Collected statements become norms and templates that new toolmakers copy. Up-to-date comparisons show who is ahead and who is silent.
Output: New entries plus a short comparison table.
Read the existing repository post.
List AI bio tools released since it was last updated.
For each, find any published biosecurity statement or policy (or note that there is none).
Compare: what risks are named, what safeguards are promised, who is accountable.
Share your additions with the repository authors.

Share what you made, then try another project. The PDF version has room for notes.
What should happen when someone discovers that a new tool could break existing defences, such as evading DNA screening? Draft a responsible-disclosure framework.
Compare how countries handle biosecurity suspicious-activity reports (reporting chains, data storage, privacy, jurisdiction gaps) against the financial sector’s anti-money-laundering systems.
Read two frontier AI companies’ published safety frameworks and compare them side by side using METR’s list of the elements these policies usually share.
