What is CAIS Risk Index?
Composite CAIS AI Dashboard risk index averaging VCT refusal risk, HLE miscalibration, MASK risk, Machiavelli, and TextQuests Harm for models with all component scores. Lower is better.
Tier A · a leaderboard, listed apart
A
Widely used: a lab reports it, or 50 or more models are scored on it.
How much stands behind a tier: usage, who backs it, a confirmed line from its own site or paper, and a clear read on X. High with three of the four, medium with two, low otherwise.
- 52 models scored
- in curated RL directories (1 pt)
How we got to tier A
- Adoption: 52 models scored. Tier A.
- On X: unclear, none buzz No move.
- In curated RL directories: 1 point, a floor of none.
- Not yet confirmed by a line from its own site or paper.
- Judged a leaderboard, arena or index rather than one benchmark (or not a benchmark at all): listed apart.
A clear view on X moves a tier one step up or down; most entries don't move. How tiers work.
Not on the map yet: no line from its own site or paper places it in a domain.
