Dual-Use AI
AI capabilities that can serve both beneficial and harmful purposes, requiring careful access controls and governance decisions.
Dual-use AI refers to systems whose capabilities can be applied for legitimate purposes (security research, scientific discovery) or malicious ones (cyberattacks, bioweapon development). The same model that helps defenders find vulnerabilities can help attackers exploit them, creating fundamental challenges for AI governance and access policies.
