xAI publishes its Risk Management Framework

xAI Risk Management Framework published — sets numerical thresholds, such as an answer rate below 1 in 20 on restricted biological and chemical threat queries and a MASK dishonesty rate below 1 in 2 for loss of control

Why it matters

Stating quantitative thresholds is unusual, but criteria such as a dishonesty rate under 50% drew criticism from outside safety researchers as far too lax
