Dual Use

Domain: Safety & Ethics

🎯 Motivation

Technology that can be used for both good and harm. AI is dual-use: it can cure diseases or create bioweapons.

📋 Concrete Example

Dual use: AI that discovers new medicines could also design toxic chemicals. AI that writes code could also write malware. Managing dual-use risks is essential.

🔗 Analogy

A kitchen knife - it can chop vegetables (good) or harm someone (bad). The knife is dual-use. AI is the same: helpful or harmful depending on the user.
