Frontier AI systems could pose growing risks to public safety and security, which raises the question of how much risk is acceptable. The authors recommend that companies first define risk thresholds, use them to set capability thresholds, and then mainly rely on capability thresholds for decisions, noting that risk thresholds are harder to evaluate reliably. They also argue that regulators should explore this area because they are the most legitimate actors to define risk thresholds.
