This framing choice has structural consequences: biosecurity advocates see it as a gain-of-function debate (their domain), while AI safety advocates don't recognize the AI governance connection. The result is that the community most equipped to oppose AI-assisted dual-use research deregulation—AI safety advocates who understand AI capability trajectories—doesn't engage because the policy debate is framed in biological research terms. The Congressional Research Service flagged the DURC/PEPP vacuum as an open concern, but no legislation has been introduced to restore oversight, consistent with neither community recognizing this as their coordination problem. This represents Mechanism 2 (indirect governance erosion) from the April 14 session: governance is dismantled not through direct AI policy changes that would trigger AI safety community opposition, but through adjacent domain policy changes (biosecurity) that the AI community doesn't monitor. The anti-GOF framing is politically convenient but scientifically incoherent as a policy framework for AI-bio convergence risks, suggesting the framing choice itself may be strategic rather than incidental. + + +## Supporting Evidence + +**Source:** CSET Georgetown analysis of White House AI Action Plan authorship (July 2025) + +The AI Action Plan frames biosecurity as 'winning the race' against China and positions biosecurity measures within AI-for-national-security competitiveness framing.
