Responsible AI Rules for Cybersecurity Research

May 8, 2026By Glasswing Editorial

A short, strict code of conduct for anyone using AI assistance in security research.

These rules are not optional. They are the floor, not the ceiling.

- Defensive-only use. AI assistance is for finding and fixing vulnerabilities in systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test. - No exploitation of third-party systems. - No credential theft, password cracking, or session hijacking. - No malware authoring, packing, or evasion assistance. - No unauthorized scanning of networks, services, or accounts. - Coordinated vulnerability disclosure with reasonable embargo windows. - Human expert review of every finding before it leaves your team. - Clear documentation of model use in your security artifacts.

A research community that holds this line earns continued access to powerful tools. A community that does not, loses them.
