AI Safety and Security Benchmarks

Safety and security benchmarks test policy behavior, misuse resistance, harmful capabilities, and cyber tasks. Some datasets are restricted or hazardous. Handle them with care.

Decision guidance

How should teams use AI safety and security benchmarks?

Use least-privilege environments, approved datasets, controlled disclosure, and qualified reviewers. Keep capability tests separate from release decisions. A public safety score does not show that your deployed system is safe.

Runnability describes access to a usable repository, dataset, or harness—not whether setup is easy.

AgentHarm
