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.

翻译：我们建议将最初为生命科学设计的“双重用途研究关切”（DURC）框架应用于生成式人工智能领域，并特别聚焦于大语言模型（LLMs）。基于该框架在生物学研究中既已展现的优势与局限，我们认为DURC标准可被有效重构以适配LLMs，从而助力改进人工智能治理。在承认运用DURC框架时需权衡各方因素的同时，我们强调其在提升社会对生成式人工智能影响的认知方面具有关键政治作用。最后，我们提出一系列将DURC方法应用于LLM研究的具体建议。
