Re: Top AI CEOs Call for Law Protecting Against Biological Weapons

It seems reasonable, but do we not already have a law for this?

The actual ask (from https://screendna.org):

> we call on legislators to make screening of orders for synthetic nucleic acids — and the equipment needed to make them — mandatory

I’m guessing that the analogy would be to legislation that requires screening buyers of chemicals that could be precursor to regulated or illegal drugs.
