A proposal for handling AI cyber capability risk
The post argues that if people are truly worried about AI cyber capabilities, the sensible response is not to keep models locked away.
Instead, it suggests a framework where models with cyber capabilities should be made available to developers working on critical proprietary and open-source infrastructure before release, but under surveillance and without guardrails.
The core point is a policy tradeoff: the ecosystem may need controlled access so defenders can test, adapt, and harden systems before offensive capabilities are widely deployed.
