  in reply to: Ria Viswanathan’s comment on: Thoughts on Govern­ing Catas­trophic AI Mi­suse Risk

  My current guess (as a relatively uninformed outsider) is that actors with some combination of pre-existing domain knowledge, operational access, and (obviously) intent are most concerning.

  Re defender-first access: yes definitely seems like a threat (e.g. misuse by insiders, account compromise/​coercion, leakage of outputs and workflows, etc). I don’t really have more concrete thoughts beyond this though. It would be useful to see a detailed estimate (if there isn’t already one internally) on how robust Rosalind Biodefense and Project Glasswing are to this.

  Thanks for your comment.

  I’m not able to follow what you mean here, could you explain your points more simply?
