人工智能正在加速生物学和生命科学领域的进步,为推动科学发现、加强公共卫生以及增强抵御生物威胁的能力创造了新的机遇。随着这些能力日益强大,致力于预防、检测和应对生物威胁的机构同样需要强大的工具。我们相信,前沿人工智能应切实为这些防御者带来优势——而要做到这一点,就需要负责任的部署结构和可信的访问模式,将先进能力交到经过审查的合作伙伴手中,他们正在构建新的生物防御应用、工具和计划,以增强社会韧性。
因此,今天我们宣布两项新举措,以推动生物学领域的防御性加速:
- 启动 Rosalind Biodefense 计划,帮助可信开发者构建新的生物防御和大流行病防范能力。在此申请。
- 扩大对 GPT‑Rosalind 的可信访问权限,面向支持公共卫生和生物防御任务的特定美国政府及盟友合作伙伴。在此申请访问权限。
我们今天采取的这些步骤,是更广泛战略的一部分,旨在确保先进人工智能切实为致力于预防、检测和应对生物威胁的人员带来优势。该战略包括:通过可信访问先进人工智能工具来装备防御者,加速医疗对策的研发,构建更早期的预警系统,加强诊断、防范和应对能力,并支持一个健全的评估生态系统。我们将在未来几周内继续分享我们在这些领域的工作进展。
基于我们的安全与韧性工作
随着人工智能模型在生物学领域的能力不断增强,我们一直致力于确保这些能力的部署方式既能推动科学进步,又能加强安全防护。我们的方法侧重于构建分层韧性:投资于准备评估、生物特定能力评估、针对双重用途生物请求的更安全模型行为、监控与执行、专家红队测试,以及针对高风险能力的安全控制。
2025年7月,我们发布了 ChatGPT agent,这是根据我们的准备框架首个被视为生物学领域高能力的模型,并启动了强有力的安全措施以最小化危害风险。此后,随着能力的持续提升,我们不断优化这些安全措施,并分享详细评估报告(在新窗口中打开)。我们还继续与外部测试团队在部署前评估方面密切合作,他们的发现有助于验证和指导我们的方法。
我们还与外部专家和公共部门合作伙伴紧密合作,以加强更广泛的生物安全生态系统,包括专家生物学家、美国人工智能标准与创新中心(CAISI)和英国人工智能安全研究所(UK AISI)等政府组织、洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室以及前沿模型论坛。今天的公告正是基于这项工作,通过扩大可信合作伙伴使用 GPT‑Rosalind 进行高影响力防御应用的方式——既支持防御者构建新的对策,也向承担公共卫生和生物防御任务的政府合作伙伴扩展可信访问权限。
通过 Rosalind Biodefense 支持防御性加速
防御性加速的重点是确保前沿人工智能能力切实为构建社会防御体系的人员带来优势。为了帮助可信开发者将前沿能力转化为实际防御手段,我们启动了 Rosalind Biodefense 计划,这是一项新举措,旨在利用 GPT‑Rosalind(我们为生命科学研究构建的前沿推理模型)开发生命科学领域高影响力的防御性人工智能应用。
该计划帮助可信开发者将前沿人工智能能力应用于可操作的生物防御工具,从而在下一次生物威胁出现之前加强防范。OpenAI 将赞助对 GPT‑Rosalind 的访问权限,并为构建前沿生物安全应用的可信开发者提供启动支持,这些应用能够增强社会防御并建立大流行病防范能力。这涵盖流行病学建模、早期检测、筛查、防范、非药物干预(NPI)及其他公共卫生相关能力等领域的工作。
在启动阶段,我们正在支持首批利用 GPT‑Rosalind 构建跨生物防御堆栈前沿应用的组织。他们的工作覆盖生物威胁的整个生命周期——从预防和早期检测到社会韧性和医疗对策开发——并有助于展示前沿人工智能如何支持公共卫生团队、研究人员、基础设施运营商和社区为未来的生物风险(无论是自然发生还是人为合成)做好准备。
Fourth Eon Biosecurity 构建了能够随人工智能等新技术共同演进的适应性筛查基础设施。该组织从基于功能的 DNA 合成筛查入手,帮助处理生物材料的实验室和公司防止不安全或恶意的订单,包括涉及新设计的订单。
“我们很高兴能在 Fourth Eon 开发人工智能原生生物安全筛查系统的工作中测试 OpenAI 的 GPT-Rosalind,该系统能够分析序列并生成详细的威胁评估。强大的筛查可以提高在潜在危险 DNA 订单造成下游风险之前检测并减轻其影响的能力,从而加强预防。”

我们的目标不仅是在抽象层面加速生命科学研究,更是要帮助创造能够增强社会韧性的产品和干预措施,并展示负责任、高影响力的生物防御在实践中应有的样貌。我们尤其关注那些先进人工智能能够显著提升防御性研究工作流程速度、质量或规模的项目,包括文献综合、方案设计支持、模型构建、数据协调、模拟、决策支持和科学传播。我们欢迎来自学术机构、非营利组织、政府附属机构、使命驱动型企业以及其他合格研究团队的申请,其项目需具有明确的公共利益。
与政府合作伙伴合作加强生物防御
加强生物防御准备需要广泛的防御者生态系统。除了支持可信的开发者构建新型防御应用外,我们也在扩大对在预防、检测和应对生物威胁中发挥核心作用的公共机构的访问权限。今日,我们向经批准的、肩负公共卫生与生物防御使命的特定美国政府及盟友合作伙伴,扩展GPT‑Rosalind的可信访问权限,使合格团队能够将前沿人工智能应用于早期预警系统、疫情应对规划、诊断、防范及医疗对策开发等高影响力工作流程。
政府公共卫生和研究机构在保护社区、将科学证据转化为行动以及应对新兴生物挑战方面发挥着关键作用。通过可信访问模式扩大准入,我们能够帮助合格团队将GPT‑Rosalind用于明确有益的防御工作,同时维持适用于先进生物能力的安全、保障与问责控制措施。
此次扩展体现了我们的整体方针:在适当保障措施下推进强大工具的访问权限,同时投资于更广泛生态系统的韧性。强大的社会防御准备依赖于政府、研究机构、行业和技术提供商之间的协作。向合格的公共卫生与科学合作伙伴提供GPT‑Rosalind,是帮助该生态系统更有效地准备、应对和防御的重要一步。
劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室(LLNL)正应用人工智能推进生物防御准备与生物韧性。LLNL的工作整合了人工智能、超级计算、先进模拟和实验室测试,以支持针对新兴生物威胁的潜在医疗对策的设计与评估。其目标是改善防御准备、加速响应,并增强对前景看好的对策开发的信心。
“我们的项目旨在生物威胁出现前加强防御准备。通过与OpenAI的合作,我们正在研究先进人工智能工具如何帮助科学家解读复杂数据和现有知识,识别更优候选方案,并更高效地连接设计、模拟与实验结果。这些努力共同有助于为更有效的生物防御准备与韧性奠定科学基础。”

展望未来
今日的公告是利用GPT‑Rosalind加强公共卫生、生物防御和生命科学研究的更广泛努力的初步步骤。Rosalind生物防御计划向全球合格申请者开放,我们期待支持更多组织构建能够利用GPT‑Rosalind提升社会韧性的防御应用。
我们还预计将随着时间的推移,继续扩展可信政府合作伙伴与GPT‑Rosalind的互动方式。随着我们从首批部署中汲取经验,并持续与美国及海外合作伙伴对话,我们将不断完善准入路径、支持模式和安全保障措施,以帮助合格机构负责任地使用前沿生命科学人工智能。
AI is accelerating progress across biology and the life sciences, creating new opportunities to advance scientific discovery, strengthen public health, and build resilience against biological threats. As these capabilities become more powerful, the institutions working to prevent, detect, and respond to biological threats need equally powerful tools. We believe frontier AI should meaningfully advantage those defenders—and that doing so requires responsible deployment structures and trusted access models that put advanced capabilities in the hands of vetted partners who are building new biodefense applications, tools and initiatives to bolster societal resilience.
That’s why today we’re announcing two new steps to advance defensive acceleration in biology:
- Launching Rosalind Biodefense to help trusted developers to build new biodefense and pandemic preparedness capabilities. Apply here.
- Expanding trusted access to GPT‑Rosalind for select U.S. government and allied partners supporting public health and biodefense missions. Request access here.
The steps we're taking today are part of a broader strategy to ensure advanced AI meaningfully advantages those working to prevent, detect, and respond to biological threats. That strategy includes equipping defenders through trusted access to advanced AI tools, accelerating the development of medical countermeasures, building earlier warning systems, strengthening diagnostics, preparedness, and response capabilities, and supporting a robust evaluations ecosystem. We will continue to share more about our work across these areas in the coming weeks.
Building on our safety and resilience work
As AI models become more capable in biology, we have been working to ensure those capabilities are deployed in ways that advance science while strengthening safeguards. Our approach has focused on building layered resilience: investing in preparedness evaluations, bio-specific capability assessments, safer model behavior for dual-use biological requests, monitoring and enforcement, expert red teaming, and security controls for higher-risk capabilities.
In July 2025, we released ChatGPT agent, the first model we treated as High Capability in biology under our Preparedness Framework and activated robust safeguards to minimize the risk of harm. Since then, we have continued refining those safeguards and sharing detailed assessments(opens in a new window) as capabilities have continued to advance. We have also continued working closely with external testing groups on pre-deployment evaluations, whose findings help validate and inform our approach.
We have also worked closely with external experts and public-sector partners to strengthen the broader biosecurity ecosystem, including expert biologists, government organizations like the U.S. Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) and the UK AI Security Institute (UK AISI), Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the Frontier Model Forum. Today’s announcement builds on that work by expanding how trusted partners can use GPT‑Rosalind for high-impact defensive applications—both by supporting defenders building new countermeasures and by extending trusted access to government partners with public-health and biodefense missions.
Supporting defensive acceleration with Rosalind Biodefense
Defensive acceleration focuses on making sure frontier AI capabilities meaningfully advantage the people building society’s defenses. To help trusted developers turn frontier capabilities into practical defenses, we are launching Rosalind Biodefense, a new initiative to enable the development of high-impact defensive applications of AI in the life sciences leveraging GPT‑Rosalind, our frontier reasoning model built for life sciences research.
This program helps trusted developers apply frontier AI capabilities to operationalized biodefense tools that can strengthen preparedness before the next biological threat emerges. OpenAI will sponsor access to GPT‑Rosalind and provide launch support to trusted developers building frontier biosecurity applications that can bolster societal defenses and build pandemic preparedness. This includes work across areas such as epidemiological modeling, early detection, screening, preparedness, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and other public-health-relevant capabilities.
At launch, we are supporting a first set of organizations building frontier applications across the biological defense stack with GPT‑Rosalind. Their work spans the lifecycle of biological threats—from prevention and early detection to societal resilience and medical countermeasure development—and helps demonstrate how frontier AI can support public-health teams, researchers, infrastructure operators, and communities in preparing for future biological risks, whether naturally occurring or synthetic.
Fourth Eon Biosecurity builds adaptive screening infrastructure that can evolve alongside new technologies like AI. Starting with function-based screening for DNA synthesis, the organization helps labs and companies that handle biological materials prevent unsafe or malicious orders, including those involving novel designs.
“We’re excited to test OpenAI’s GPT-Rosalind in Fourth Eon’s work developing AI-native biosecurity screening systems that analyze sequences and generate detailed threat assessments. Robust screening can improve the ability to detect and mitigate potentially dangerous DNA orders before they create downstream risk, strengthening prevention.”
– Gary Abel, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist
Our goal is not only to accelerate life sciences research in the abstract, but to help create products and interventions that bolster societal resilience and show what responsible, high-impact biodefense can look like in practice. We’re especially interested in projects where advanced AI can materially improve the speed, quality, or scale of defensive research workflows, including literature synthesis, protocol design support, model-building, data harmonization, simulation, decision support, and scientific communication. We welcome applications from academic, nonprofit, government-affiliated, mission-driven companies and other qualified research teams working on projects with clear public benefit.
Working with government partners to strengthen biodefense
Strengthening biological preparedness requires a broad ecosystem of defenders. In addition to supporting trusted builders developing new defensive applications, we are also expanding access to the public institutions that play a central role in preventing, detecting, and responding to biological threats. Today, we are extending trusted access to GPT‑Rosalind for select U.S. government and allied partners with approved public health and biodefense missions, so qualified teams can apply frontier AI to high-impact workflows like early warning systems, outbreak response planning, diagnostics, preparedness, and medical countermeasure development.
Government public health and research institutions play an essential role in protecting communities, translating scientific evidence into action, and preparing for emerging biological challenges. By expanding access through a trusted access model, we can help qualified teams use GPT‑Rosalind for clearly beneficial defensive work while maintaining the safety, security, and accountability controls appropriate for advanced biological capabilities.
This expansion reflects our broader approach: advancing access to powerful tools in step with appropriate safeguards, while investing in the resilience of the wider ecosystem. Strong societal preparedness depends on collaboration across government, research institutions, industry, and technology providers. Making GPT‑Rosalind available to qualified public health and science partners is an important step toward helping that ecosystem prepare, respond, and defend more effectively.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is applying AI to advance biopreparedness and bioresilience. Work at LLNL integrates AI, supercomputing, advanced simulation, and laboratory testing to support the design and evaluation of potential medical countermeasures for emerging biological threats. Its objective is to improve preparedness, accelerate response, and strengthen confidence in promising countermeasure development.
“Our program is designed to strengthen preparedness before biological threats emerge. Through our collaboration with OpenAI, we are examining how advanced AI tools can help scientists interpret complex data and existing knowledge, identify stronger candidates, and more efficiently connect design, simulation and experimental results. Together, these efforts may help strengthen the scientific foundation for more effective biodefense preparedness and resilience.”
Shankar Sundaram, Ph.D. Director, Bioresilience Incubator Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
We are also working with Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, which intends to integrate GPT‑Rosalind into a protein‑engineering platform to accelerate screening of mutant enzymes for therapeutics, counter‑measure development, and emerging biothreat characterization. And we are extending access to GPT‑Rosalind to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), which is focused on its 100 Days Mission to accelerate the development of vaccines against epidemic and pandemic threats, including the current Ebola outbreak.
Looking ahead
Today’s announcement is an early step in a broader effort to use GPT‑Rosalind to strengthen public health, biodefense, and life sciences research. The Rosalind Biodefense Program is open to qualified applicants globally, and we are looking to support more organizations building defensive applications that can use GPT‑Rosalind to improve societal resilience.
We also expect to continue expanding how trusted government partners can engage with GPT‑Rosalind over time. As we learn from this initial set of deployments and continue conversations with partners in the U.S. and abroad, we will continue refining the access pathways, support models, and safeguards needed to help qualified institutions use frontier life sciences AI responsibly.
