Miller instead imagines a single public firm developing the entire system in one go. Furthermore, i...
متن کاملExistential Risk and Cost-Effective Biosecurity
In the decades to come, advanced bioweapons could threaten human existence. Although the probability of human extinction from bioweapons may be low, the expected value of reducing the risk could still be large, since such risks jeopardize the existence of all future generations. We provide an overview of biotechnological extinction risk, make some rough initial estimates for how severe the risk...
