Read about how Apart handles dissemination of dual use research
The goal of our responsible disclosure policy is to mitigate the risk of Apart disseminating information that could lead to potentially dangerous and hazardous use of AI or substantially weaken defenses against AI risks, also known as info hazards. Apart recognizes the high value of open science and reproducible research and is committed to making our scientific output widely accessible (within the limits of this responsible disclosure policy).
By "info hazards," we refer to the disclosure of information that could lead to potentially dangerous and hazardous use of AI or substantially weaken defenses against AI risks.
The following is a very non-exhaustive list of examples:
Our responsible disclosure policy covers information disclosure by members of the Apart team, as well as information disclosure by Apart Lab fellows or Apart Sprint participants on the research undertaken during their fellowship or sprint.
It covers information in written as well as oral form insofar as it contains original research or information that is not yet widely known to the audience.
This includes but is not limited to:
The responsible disclosure policy can be updated by a majority decision of the Apart leadership team to adapt to emerging risks or improve our handling of info hazards.
