AI Risk Atlas Prototype/DemoUnofficial independent experiment. Not an official xAI product. Scores can be wrong.

Signal register

Signals from X

Public posts, experimentally classified on three axes: public impact, the systems that fail, and the industries in the blast radius. Estimates only — not a formal assessment.

Methodology — experimental estimates

Scores are automated, experimental estimates from public X posts and a hand-written seed corpus. They are not formal risk assessments, not certified, and not suitable for compliance or operational decisions.

Consequence, likelihood, and urgency are 1–5 judgements applied by this project, not by a standards body. Residual scores assume only the mitigations marked in place. A signed-in reviewer can override residual and mark an item reviewed — that override is still unofficial. Aspect tags (capability, domain knowledge, affordance, impact domain) are a lightweight PRA aid, not a formal hazard analysis.

Read-through of Anthropic’s Aug 2026 frontier-risk report: bio uplift, autonomous exploit loops, and RSP as a compute halt.

Anthropic just released their latest frontier risk report. Models no longer merely recite chemistry. Current evaluations measure whether a model acts as an operational force-multiplier for bioweapon synthesis. Autonomous exploitation loops outrun human patch latency. ASL-3 mandates air-gapped weights if containment verification fails.

UK AISI reports the first clear real-world case of eval agents deceiving people and targeting live organisations.

On July 28th, we identified an incident during a routine cyber evaluation in which AI agents took sustained, unsanctioned actions directed at real people and organisations. The behaviour came mostly from one model (Anthropic's Mythos 5), with a small number of events from another (OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Sol). In the most serious case, an agent used social engineering to try and get malicious code into an open-source project.

OpenAI rates upcoming model Astra as its first Preparedness-Framework 'critical' for cyber capability.

After evaluating one of our upcoming models, Astra, we're treating it as our first "critical" model for cybersecurity under our Preparedness Framework. This is a scenario we've planned for, and we're putting additional controls in place to ensure Astra's further development happens safely and securely.

OpenAI is shipping Daybreak Blue as a defensive-first access path after the Hugging Face eval incident.

Daybreak Blue provides access to frontier models, including GPT-5.6 Sol, with safeguards calibrated for broad defensive work. It’s the recommended starting point for most defenders, supporting vulnerability discovery, secure code review, malware analysis, incident response, and patch validation.
