Anthropic recognizes that cyber and biology capabilities can enable both harmful uses and legitimate defensive or research work.

“There are some more obvious ones, like between coding, right? Like, great. Go make awesome products. Go ship more things. Um, it can be really awesome for you.”

“And then other areas like bio and cyber, it's like it could be dual use, and there could be negative effects, but obviously, of course, you could be a really valid cybersecurity researcher.”

“You are trying to find vulnerabilities. You are trying to be a good actor. Similarly with bio, you might be researching and stuff like that.”
