It's one thing for a model to contain knowledge that's dual use, which you know only authorized users should be able to access.

But some model behavior and/or knowledge dissemination should be proactively prevented.

Um, the the test that AI designers apply is termed uplift.

That is, does a model mean

Meaningfully advance someone's capability beyond what they should what they could already get.

Um, you know, does it uplift them?

This falls into two categories.

One is where knowledge where the knowledge is the harm, and the other is where the output is the harm.

Um examples of knowledge uplift would be.

For example, bioweapon synthesis routes, nerve agent production, and nuclear device design.

You know, the relevant literature is scattered, it's partial, and it's difficult to assemble.

So any model that would synthesize it into an actionable protocol provides genuine.

uplift toward mass casualties.

And the asymmetry is clear, right?

Defensive work in these fields does not require the synthesis route.

Somebody, you know, a vaccine researcher needs to understand pathogen biology, not

a means of enhancing a pathogen's uh, you know uh mil uh malicious use.

This list and those examples that I cited would not take anyone by surprise.

They're one category where essentially every AI model provider refuses, regardless of credentials or system prompt.
