OpenAI develops early warning system for LLM-aided biological threat creation

OpenAI has developed a new evaluation method to assess the risk of large language models aiding in the creation of biological threats. Their initial study, involving biology experts and students, found that GPT-4 provided only a mild, statistically insignificant uplift in accuracy for threat creation tasks compared to internet-only access. This research is part of OpenAI's broader Preparedness Framework and aims to contribute to community understanding and the development of safety evaluations for AI-enabled risks. AI

    Building an early warning system for LLM-aided biological threat creation

    We’re developing a blueprint for evaluating the risk that a large language model (LLM) could aid someone in creating a biological threat. In an evaluation involving both biology experts and students, we found that GPT-4 provides at most a mild uplift in biological threat creation…
