She joins the podcast to discuss biological war and her book Biological War: A Scenario. The conversation examines how lab accidents or covert weapons work could trigger a fast-moving outbreak, why airborne pathogens are hard to detect early, and how AI may lower barriers to engineering them. We also cover BSL-3 and BSL-4 lab oversight, US response roles across HHS, FEMA, and the military, medical stockpiles, continuity-of-government plans, and how lost public trust could slow the next pandemic response.\nLINKS:\nAnnie Jacobsen Website\nAnnie Jacobsen Wikipedia\nCHAPTERS:\n(00:00) Episode Preview\n(01:10) Biological threat overview\n(09:02) Suppression and spread\n(17:47) AI and detection\n(27:24) BSL lab dangers\n(39:23) Response and martial law\n(47:28) Accident versus attack\n(57:25) Airborne outbreak lessons\n(01:05:07) Bioweapons ban legacy\n(01:11:30) Stockpiles and devolution\n(01:20:07) Rebuilding pandemic resilience\nPRODUCED BY:\nhttps://aipodcast.ing\nSOCIAL LINKS:\nWebsite: https://podcast.futureoflife.org\nTwitter (FLI): https://x.com/FLI_org\nTwitter (Gus): https://x.com/gusdocker\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/future-of-life-institute/\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-rCCy3FQ-GItDimSR9lhzw/\nApple: https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1170991978\nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2Op1WO3gwVwCrYHg4eoGyP","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/fFhIC-s2qSlHXzmJI7qMGts2WuLwImi4tWmRLH9EdPg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81MmU5/MDZjZGQ5OTI0MDc5/YTk2ZTAxYTgwYTNk/M2VlOC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
