Can AI protect us from AI-powered bioterrorism and cyberwarfare?

This time, we talk about AI risks beyond our usual focus on rogue AIs: malicious use and accidents. In particular, we look at how AI could undermine democracy, enable automated cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, lower barriers for biological and chemical misuse, concentrate power in a few governments or corporations, and cause large-scale accidents through bugs, design flaws, and weak safety culture.
