That's exactly what they are doing. Out of all the civilian applications that AI capabilities have, why has this surfaced as a priority for demonstration? Probably because of money.

1. AI companies do make defense against threats a primary thing they sell to companies, including because companies want it - should AI companies not do this? (And of course this kind of thing isn’t what AI companies demo to consumers.)

2. AI is also tested to see more of its worst case in terms of security - but the tests are supposed to remain sandboxed. (OpenAI is explicit that this was an OpenAI failure that openAI must fix.) But beyond such fixes, should such sandboxed testing not be done?
