Development of Biothreat Benchmarks and a Benchmark Generation Framework for Frontier Models
As part of work for the AI Safety Fund, Nemesys developed the Bacterial Biothreat Benchmark Generation (BBG) Framework to improve and advance the ability of biothreat benchmarks to provide safety assessments of AI models. This included developing a conceptual architecture for biothreats and using three different approaches – web-mediated prompt generation, extraction from existing corpora, and asynchronous dynamics red teaming – to develop a set of benchmarks that are both aligned to the biosecurity threat chain and diagnostic in the sense of providing uplift over traditional search tools.
Global Survey on the Origins and Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Nemesys conducted the first global survey of experts addressing a highly controversial topic: the origins and implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. A rigorous survey of epidemiologists, virologists and other scientific experts was carried out across 47 countries, with the results being analyzed to extract lessons for future pandemics. The corresponding report was widely cited and discussed, both among experts and the news media.
