CBAI and the ASTRAL team run a one-day, in-person hackathon in which life scientists test AI systems on realistic scientific questions and on adversarial prompts that probe safety boundaries. Participants do not need to code or train models. The work contributes to ASTRAL, an open-source scanner for biological-misuse risk in AI logs, and transcripts are handled under a stated retention policy. Cash prizes, food and token costs are provided. It is aimed at research assistants, students, postdocs, industry scientists, clinicians and public-health researchers.
