WNDP-Defense: Weapons of Mass Disruption

Esben Kran, Tristan Williams, Bart Bussmann · Team DefAInce

Submitted to AI and Democracy Hackathon: Demonstrating the Risks. Sprint projects are early-stage work by participants, not Apart Research publications.

Highly disruptive cyber warfare is a significant threat to democracies. In this work, we introduce an extension to the WMDP benchmark to measure the offense/defense balance in autonomous cyber capabilities and develop forecasts for cyber AI capability with agent-based and parametric modeling.
