    CBRN

    "Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) risks are broad classes of threats that have the potential to cause harm to a large number of people. Explosives are also sometimes included in this category, often referred to as CBRNE...The key characteristic of CBRN risk is that it stems from misuse of capable models with a direct pathway to harm, where a malicious actor is able to carry out consequential attacks more efficiently and effectively with the help of AI."

    Cyber offense

    "Cyber risks, especially in the context of cyber offense, are an existing threat that may be exacerbated by AI. [108] demonstrated that teams of LLM agents can exploit zero-day vulnerabilities when given a description of the vulnerability and toy capture-the-flag problems. While cyber risks are not typically regarded as catastrophic, [3] argues that cyberwarfare is an underappreciated risk that poses a credible threat of catastrophic harm."
