NIST and Scale AI Launch DualChem Benchmark for Dual-Use Chemistry Risks
NIST’s CAISSI and Scale AI released DualChem, a 600-question benchmark designed to assess AI model performance and safety in ambiguous dual-use chemistry scenarios. The CRADA-based work is not a solicitation, contract award, or mandatory standard, but it offers contractors and agencies a concrete reference point for AI testing and evaluation needs.
