SaferAI, doing standardization work in CEN CENELEC in Europe and in the NIST US AI Safety Consortium, is fundraising in order to develop an LLM risk assessment methodology. The goal of this methodology is to be able to capture the fact that we don’t know how to measure most of the risk and still need to account for it.
