AI learned faster than the tests designed to measure it - Axios
Quick Answer
AI models are advancing faster than current testing methods, prompting Anthropic to collaborate with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft on a new benchmark focusing on the impact of jailbreaks.
Quick Take
Irregular, a testing lab, has also introduced a cyber benchmark to assess AI's offensive capabilities, highlighting the urgency for updated evaluation standards.
Key Points
- Current AI models outpace existing testing methods, risking safe deployment.
- Anthropic partners with major tech firms to create a new jailbreak benchmark.
- Irregular released a benchmark for assessing AI's offensive cyber capabilities.
- Without updated tests, predicting AI behavior becomes increasingly challenging.
- New benchmarks aim to focus on outcomes rather than just possibilities.

From source RSS / original summary**Why it matters:** AI models are outgrowing the existing methods of testing and benchmarking their hacking abilities — and without new tests, policymakers and corporate security teams won't have a clear way to predict what these models can actually do or whether they can be deployed safely.
* When Fable 5 returned last week, Anthropic said in a blog post it was creating a standardized benchmark with Amazon, Google, Microsoft and other partners that focuses on the outcomes and impact of a jailbreak, rather than simply whether one is possible. * Irregular — a testing lab that works closely with frontier AI labs including OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as governments — released a new cyber benchmark in late June that measures whether AI models can carry out offensive cyber tasks such as remot
