The US AI Safety Institute (US AISI) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released the second public draft of its guidelines on Managing Misuse Risk for Dual-Use Foundation Models (NIST AI 800-1), which outlines voluntary best practices for identifying, measuring, and mitigating risks to public safety and national security across the AI lifecycle. The updated guidelines include a number of improvements to the initial public draft (released July 2024), including updates such as (1) detailing best practices for model evaluations; (2) expanding domain-specific guidelines on cyber and chemical and biological risk; (3) underscoring a marginal risk framework; (4) addressing open models; and (5) managing risk across the AI supply chain. The comment period on these updated guidelines is open until 15 March 2025.
