UK launches AI Biosecurity Lab with £100M funding and OpenAI/Anthropic credits

The UK government established the world's first dedicated AI Biosecurity Lab with £100 million in public funding plus up to £200 million in model credits and access from OpenAI and Anthropic, alongside partnerships with Google DeepMind. This creates a formal institutional capability to apply frontier AI to biological threat detection, surveillance and countermeasure development as part of a broader £600 million-plus AI security package. The move institutionalizes public-private collaboration on dual-use AI risks at national scale.
