Benchmark Limitations (Insufficient benchmarks for AI safety evaluation)

"Benchmarks dedicated to measuring the performance of AI systems (e.g., on programming or math tasks) are more well-developed than those for assessing safety and harms in AI systems [234]. This gap can lead to AI systems excelling in specific tasks while exhibiting harmful behaviors that go undetected. More safety-related evaluation datasets can help in identifying previously overlooked undesirable model behaviors."
