abstract
We suggest the implementation of the Dual Use Research of Concern (DURC) framework, originally designed for life sciences, to the domain of generative AI, with a specific focus on Large Language Models (LLMs). With its demonstrated advantages and drawbacks in biological research, we believe the DURC criteria can be effectively redefined for LLMs, potentially contributing to improved AI governance. Acknowledging the balance that must be struck when employing the DURC framework, we highlight its crucial political role in enhancing societal awareness of the impact of generative AI. As a final point, we offer a series of specific recommendations for applying the DURC approach to LLM research.

Can Large Language Models Design Biological Weapons? Evaluating Moremi Bio
A red-team test of Moremi Bio Agent produced thousands of computationally predicted toxic sequences, but without experimental validation or shared data the claim that LLMs can design bioweapons is unsupported.
