Dangerous-Weapons Information

The idea
NIST's first risk is eased access to information that could help someone design or use chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons.
In practice
Studies NIST cites, including a RAND red-team exercise, found that language models gave little help beyond ordinary web search when they were run.
Where people slip
NIST still lists the risk and calls for ongoing monitoring, because capabilities change faster than studies are published.
