Identifying catastrophic outcomes to prevent: Our framework identifies potential catastrophic outcomes related to cyber, chemical and biological risks that we strive to prevent. It focuses on evaluating whether these catastrophic outcomes are enabled by technological advances and, if so, identifying ways to mitigate those risks. Threat modeling exercises : We conduct threat modeling exercises to anticipate how different actors might seek to misuse frontier AI to produce those catastrophic outcomes, working with external experts as necessary.
