Why have we used the term "dual use" for over half a century to discuss security concerns in science and technology, and what are its limitations? Join us April 16 for our next Scientists and Strategists event, "Beyond Dual Use: Rethinking the Way We Understand and Govern Security Concerns in Science and Technology," with Dr. Sam Weiss Evans. Dr. Evans will outline why the term "dual use" has such purchase with a wide range of governing mechanisms today, provide examples of its limitations, sketch some alternatives we might explore, and consider how a change in language can be part of a bigger shift in the institutions and practices of security governance of science and technology today.

In an era where scientific knowledge outpaces wisdom, I've been curious about how democratizing scientific literacy can bridge the trust gap between society and technology. 🧬🔬 How do we resurrect trust in an institution so thoroughly entwined with capital and political power from institutions such as the United States defense organization DARPA? The answer lies not in further isolation. We must tear down walls of elitism and make everyone a citizen-scientist. 🪐Check out the full op-ed here: https://lnkd.in/e-3aQkMV

A new study with contributors from academia, industry, and civil society offers insights into the governance of open foundation models: https://lnkd.in/gaFrJ-yR - analyzes open foundation models' benefits like transparency, power distribution, and enabling research. - offers a risk assessment framework comparing open models' marginal risk to closed models and existing technologies. - calls for clearer safety expectations The PAI Guidance for Safe Foundation Model Deployment provides a starting point for defining safety practices for open and closed model providers. A debate between open vs closed models is not helpful. Rather we need robust research like the Stanford Study so that companies make better deployment decisions and regulators make better rules. To hear more about my thoughts on the future of open source, join me at SXSW on March 11.
