Risk thresholds for frontier AI

Understand

Frontier artificial intelligence (AI) systems could pose increasing risks to public safety and security.

• But what level of risk is acceptable? One increasingly popular approach is to define capability thresholds, which describe AI capabilities beyond which an AI system is deemed to pose too much risk.
• A more direct approach is to define risk thresholds that simply state how much risk would be too much.
• For instance, they might state that the likelihood of cybercriminals using an AI system to cause X amount of economic damage must not increase by more than Y percentage points.
