OpenAI and Anthropic Sign Letter to Prevent AI-Developed Biological Weapons

# AI Companies Push for DNA Tracking Rules OpenAI and Anthropic are asking lawmakers to create better systems for monitoring synthetic DNA orders, worried that AI tools could make it easier for bad actors to design dangerous biological weapons. Right now, if you order DNA sequences online, there's limited oversight—similar to how you can buy chemicals without much tracking. These companies want stricter controls in place before AI makes this risk significantly worse.
