This research challenges the trend toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), arguing that specialized AI systems provide superior security, reliability, and industrial value.

• Security Advantages: Specialized systems offer better safety-engineering and formal verification opportunities
• Governance Benefits: Specialized AI enables more precise control and regulatory frameworks
• Industrial Value: Purpose-built AI solutions address specific business needs more effectively than general models
• Risk Reduction: Specialization minimizes unintended consequences and potential security vulnerabilities

For security professionals, this research highlights how the pursuit of generality in AI may compromise critical security properties that specialized systems can better guarantee.
