The emergence of new techniques in both microbial biotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI) is opening up a completely field for monitoring sometimes even controlling the evolution pathogens. However, now famous generative AI extracts reorganizes prior knowledge from large datasets, making it poorly suited to predictions an unreliable future. In contrast, unfamiliar perspective can help us identify key issues related technologies, such as those arising synthetic biology, whilst revisiting old views or including generator abduction resource. This could enable dangerous situations that are bound emerge not-too-distant future, prepare ourselves anticipate when where they will occur. Here, we emphasize fact amongst many causes pathogen outbreaks, often driven by explosion human population, laboratory accidents major cause epidemics. review, limited animal pathogens, concludes with discussion potential epidemic origins based on unusual organisms associations have rarely been highlighted studied.

Background: Governance of high-risk biological research, specifically dual-use research concern (DURC) and pathogens with enhanced pandemic potential (PEPP), is a topic renewed interest. This study considers the historical evolution biosecurity policies, highlighting current challenges in balancing scientific progress national security public safety.
