The OWASP Top 10 [1] is the probably the most well-known and recognised reference standard for the most critical web application security risks. This organisation has now started to working on creating a similar list for Large Language Models (LLM) Applications.
I'm posting about it here since I think it would be beneficial for safety alignment researchers to be involved for two reasons:
To provide AI safety and alignment expertise to the security community and standardisation process.
To learn from the cybersecurity community both about standardisation processes since they have a long experience in developing these kinds of standards and about security mindset and vulnerabilities.
I have no idea about how many people within the AI safety and alignment community actually know about this initiative, but I did not find any reference to it on the EA forum or here on the alignment forum, so I thought I might as well post about it.
