SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AISI requests comments on the draft of
Managing Misuse Risk for Dual-Use Foundation Models.
AISI welcomes input on all aspects of the draft guidance, such as
modifications to the included objectives, practices, and
recommendations; suggestions for additions or deletions; and areas
where further empirical evidence is needed. The questions below are
optional and intended to prompt feedback:
1. What practical challenges exist to meeting the objectives
outlined in the guidance?
2. How can the guidance better address the ways in which misuse
risks differ based on deployment (e.g., how a foundation model is
released) and modality (text, image, audio, multimodal, and others)?
3. How can the guidance better reflect the important role for real-
world monitoring in making risk assessments?
4. How can the guidance's examples of documentation better support
communication of practically useful information while adequately
addressing confidentiality concerns, such as protecting proprietary
information?
5. How can the guidance better enable collaboration among actors
across the AI supply chain, such as addressing the role of both
developers and their third-party partners in managing misuse risk?
Authority: Sections 4.1(a)(ii) and 4.1(a)(ii)(A) of Executive Order
14110 of Oct. 30, 2023; 15 U.S.C. 272.
