Ethical and Legal Principles of Publishing Open Source Dual-Purpose Machine Learning Algorithms

In today's world there is an active introduction of artificial intelligence technologies in various fields of science and technology. On the one hand, the publication by open source researchers of their achievements can be called the force for progress. On the other hand, some studies have a dual purpose like the analysis of computer traffic using machine learning methods. A number of questions arise regarding the ethical side of the issue of publishing such information in the public domain. The paper discusses the ethical and legal foundations of publishing open source dual-purpose machine learning algorithms. And also the problems associated with it.
