Research question
Can a drug-discovery model be repurposed to design chemical weapons?
Key findings
- Inverting a toxicity objective generated 40,000 toxic molecules, including VX analogues, in six hours
Dual use of artificial-intelligence-powered drug discovery
The Collaborations Pharmaceuticals experiment showing generative chemistry models can be trivially inverted to design nerve agents, a foundational dual-use warning.
