Comment on Dual use of artificial-intelligence-powered drug discovery

This particular issue, toxins, doesn't seem like a huge problem in practice.

You can already buy extremely potent toxins that also work against humans at the hardware store (some pesticides/insecticides/rat poisons).

New toxins might be interesting for covert operations, for example killing someone without being detected by a toxicological report, but this seem to have limited usage.
