Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team has identified early warning signs of rapid progress in AI models, particularly in dual-use capabilities like cybersecurity and biology. Their latest models have achieved undergraduate-level skills in cybersecurity and expert-level knowledge in some areas of biology. Despite these advancements, current AI models still fall short of posing substantial national security risks. The team emphasizes that real-world risks depend on various factors beyond AI itself, such as physical constraints and human expertise. They advocate for continued monitoring and mitigation efforts to ensure AI safety.
Key statement: “In one experimental study, we found that our most recent model provided some amount of uplift to novices compared to other participants who did not have access to a model.”
