Description

"Similar to CBRN risk, cyber offense represents a broad class of risk that stems from misuse of capable models. However, in contrast to CBRN risks, cyberattacks can take place entirely in the digital domain. In theory, it can be conducted completely by AIs (or AI agents) without any human involvement. The pathway to harm is also less direct, as the resultant harm depends on the target of the attack."
