The integration of AI applications with chemistry tools is revolutionizing the operations of both academic and industrial chemical research. How we utilize these applications today will significantly influence the future of the discipline. The application of AI in chemistry has the potential to enable significant advancements in areas like chemical data analysis, reaction planning, and property prediction. Yet, the inherent dual-use nature of this technology introduces considerable security risks. This chapter proposes diverse policy recommendations to mitigate the potential misuse of AI in chemistry. Key strategies include integrating ethics education into science curricula, strengthening existing AI regulations, and enhancing security mechanisms and access restrictions for AI tools and data.
