Dual-use foundation model

A US government term (2023) for a broad, very large model that could be used for good purposes or to cause serious harm, for example in cyberattacks or weapons.

The wording it rests on

In their own words.

Our plain version above is ours. This is the official or expert wording we based it on.

“an AI model that is trained on broad data; generally uses self-supervision;”
US Executive Order 14110, Sec. 3(k), Federal Register, Nov 1, 2023

Old (2023). We did not check the order's current legal status in this task.
