The increasing capability of AI models presents a growing "dual-use gap," where advancements benefit both defenders and attackers in cybersecurity. While AI can aid in code review and vulnerability detection for defenders, it simultaneously empowers attackers with faster exploitation and automated malware creation. This widening gap means that even small security failures can have a significantly larger impact due to AI-driven speed and automation. The argument that "good AI will defend against bad AI" is insufficient, as it doesn't guarantee equitable access to defensive AI for all potential targets, leaving smaller entities more vulnerable. AI
IMPACT AI's dual-use nature in cybersecurity amplifies risks, making even minor vulnerabilities more impactful and potentially leaving less resourced entities exposed.
