Dark winter: why the risk of unnatural pandemics is an existential threat
The past history of pandemics and biological attacks, lab accidents and epidemics show a recurrent theme of denial, silence and cover-up around unnatural epidemics and the powerful vested interests at play. Quantum advances in genetic engineering and synthetic biology may lead to a future where resurrection of extinct viruses are the norm. The risk of unnatural pandemics is greater than ever and poses an existential threat. Early warnings of epidemics through OSINT can help mitigate the risk.

Going from Alzheimer's to Pandemics: Bringing FLOSS to Bio Testing
Varro has developed a unique semiconductor-based biosensor platform that detects pathogens in human breath and indoor air with significant improvements in speed, sensitivity, and cost over existing technologies. The platform will be offered via open source to expand its reach and accessibility. We will discuss the core technology and how it can be used to prevent the spread of disease and new pandemics around the world.

NeuroAI for AI safety
Powerful unaligned AIs pose risks to humans. This talk will explore how neuroscience-inspired AI–or NeuroAI–can lead to a deeper understanding of the human brain, and help us build more secure AI. I’ll connect these ideas to d/acc, arguing that neuroAI can play an enabling role in creating technologies that are inherently defense-favoring and promote human well-being.
