A team of global experts in AI and synthetic chemistry have just published their research into AI’s capacity to identify hundreds of ways to scale manufacturing of fentanyl that evade current DEA controls. The implications are striking.
The study’s implications suggest that if only a fraction of the information provided progresses to its logical conclusion, the already out-of-control fentanyl crisis, will be supercharged and could present an imminent threat—a real-life Breaking Bad.
What makes AI-assisted illegal drug synthesis so dangerous, according to the Chem-Catalysis piece is that, using decades old AI technology, it is possible to identify scores of pathways for production of fentanyl using readily available precursor materials. These AI-algorithmically scripted formulas or “recipes” are extraordinarily inexpensive to “cook.”
