Adversarial Machine Learning: A Taxonomy and Terminology of Attacks and Mitigations

Why it matters

NIST finalizes AI 100-2e2025, providing a terminology and taxonomy for adversarial machine learning across predictive and generative AI systems.

My takeaway: Use NIST’s vocabulary as a shared threat-modeling language. Map each system component to applicable attack stages and adversary capabilities, select mitigations that can be tested, and turn the resulting scenarios into evaluation cases and monitoring requirements.

Pacing model development in an era of cyber-critical capabilities

OpenAI says preliminary evidence that Astra may meet its Critical cybersecurity threshold led it to pause frontier reinforcement-learning work for two weeks and keep its largest planned run on hold. New safeguards include stronger workload and network isolation, continuous boundary testing, token-level monitoring that escalates suspicious tool activity, and broader alignment checks for deception, reward hacking, and unauthorized access.

A blueprint for democratic governance of frontier AI

OpenAI proposes a three-part U.S. frontier-AI governance model: harmonize emerging state safety laws into a federal baseline, strengthen CAISI as an evaluation and standards institution, and coordinate a broader resilience program. Proposed controls include severe-risk evaluations, transparency reports, independent audits, safety-incident reporting, model-weight security, whistleblower protection, and periodic technical assessments.

OpenAI’s Frontier Governance Framework

OpenAI's 22-page Frontier Governance Framework maps its frontier-model processes to California's Transparency in Frontier AI Act and the EU AI Act's general-purpose AI code. It documents lifecycle risk assessment, cyber-offense and other risk tiers, mitigation and residual-risk decisions, critical-incident handling, security risk management, model reporting, external review, responsibility allocation, and change control.
