On May 20, 2024, the UK AI Safety Institute (AISI) released a comprehensive technical analysis of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems to assess their potential for harmful applications, such as cyberattacks and disseminating dangerous knowledge. The analysis focused on five large language models (LLMs), assessing their cyber capabilities, chemical and biological knowledge, autonomous actions, and the effectiveness of built-in safeguards.
The findings revealed that while the models excelled at simple cybersecurity challenges and exhibited expert-level expertise in chemistry and biology, they struggled with complex tasks and were susceptible to producing harmful outputs despite safeguards. The evaluation methodology involved grading responses based on compliance, correctness, and completion. Future evaluations will be expanded to accommodate more sophisticated scenarios.
