AI Safety and Security Benchmarks

Safety and security benchmarks probe policy behavior, misuse resistance, harmful capabilities, and cyber tasks. Some sources are intentionally restricted or hazardous and require careful handling.

Decision guidance

How should teams use AI safety and security benchmarks?

Use least-privilege environments, approved datasets, controlled disclosure, and qualified reviewers. Keep capability evaluation separate from release policy, and never treat a public safety score as evidence that a deployed system is safe in your context.
