SECSEC-002 — Data Poisoning Attack Risks

AI Model Evaluated as Capable of Supporting Weapons Acquisition and Bioweapon Assembly

5/5Sector: DefenceGeography: GlobalStage: OperateIngested: —

Executive Summary

Frontier AI models have been assessed as capable of providing actionable weapons development assistance, including bioweapon synthesis, representing a direct dual-use proliferation risk. Defence procurement and security oversight bodies must establish mandatory capability red-teaming standards before any such model is cleared for operational use.
