- Public release of model weights increases biological misuse risk"Open-Sourcing Highly Capable Foundation Models" (arXiv v1, submitted 29 September 2023) states that for some highly capable foundation models likely to be developed in the near future, open-sourcing may pose sufficiently extreme risks to outweigh the benefits, and names access to biological weapons knowledge among the dangerous capabilities at issue.2023-09-29 · publication · Stated in source · Supported Inspect claim & evidence ↗Public release of model weights increases biological misuse risk: propositions page →
