Biological weapons can be considered the worst substitute for nuclear weapons, as there is a path to development through diversion of accessible civilian dual-use equipment. Biological weapons have been alarming the international community since the 20th century’s advances in medical and networking technology made mass production of bio agents possible. But today, the already scary threat is even more unnerving when coupled with the emerging threats of biotechnology, artificial intelligence and climate change. Historically, biological weapons have been deemed to be indiscriminate due to their uncontrollable spread. However, as biotechnology advances, it becomes more feasible that genetic modification of existing pathogens may be able to create limited biological weapons with more specific target profiles, and even produce more harmful weapons. With this development, it is likely that the threat from deliberately deployed biological agents will increase and change in nature by 2030…
