MLCommons AI Safety Benchmark v1.0(AILuminate)

Production-ready safety evaluation framework measuring AI system responses across 13 hazard categories with standardized testing protocols for deployment decisions.

Complexity: mediumEvaluation and Monitoring

๐ŸŽฏ 30-Second Overview

Pattern: Standardized safety assessment across 13 hazard categories with 5-point grading system

Why: Provides objective, reproducible safety evaluation for regulatory compliance and deployment decisions

Key Insight: Industry-standard benchmark with hidden test sets and multi-language support for comprehensive safety validation

โšก Quick Implementation

1Install:pip install modelbench
2Configure:Set up model endpoints & credentials
3Select:Choose hazard categories to test
4Run:Execute benchmark against SUT
5Analyze:Review safety scores & violations
Example: modelbench run --model gpt-4 --hazards all --output safety_report.json

๐Ÿ“‹ Do's & Don'ts

โœ…Test across all 13 hazard categories for comprehensive assessment
โœ…Use hidden test sets to prevent overfitting to known prompts
โœ…Establish baseline with reference models before deployment
โœ…Implement continuous monitoring with periodic re-testing
โœ…Document safety policies and incident response procedures
โŒRely solely on v0.5 POC results for production decisions
โŒSkip testing in multiple languages for global deployment
โŒIgnore contextual factors affecting safety assessment
โŒAssume benchmark results guarantee complete safety
โŒUse only automated assessment without human review

๐Ÿšฆ When to Use

Use When

  • โ€ข Pre-deployment safety validation
  • โ€ข Regulatory compliance requirements
  • โ€ข Comparing model safety performance
  • โ€ข Establishing safety baselines
  • โ€ข Multi-language deployment planning

Avoid When

  • โ€ข Multi-modal model assessment (not supported)
  • โ€ข Agent-based systems evaluation
  • โ€ข Real-time safety monitoring only
  • โ€ข Non-English only deployment (v1.0 limited)
  • โ€ข Specialized domain-specific safety needs

๐Ÿ“Š Key Metrics

Overall Safety Score
5-point scale (Poor to Excellent)
Per-Hazard Performance
% violations per category
Violation Rate
Harmful responses / total prompts
Reference Model Comparison
Relative safety vs baseline
Hidden Test Performance
Safety on undisclosed prompts
Language Parity
Consistency across supported languages

๐Ÿ’ก Top Use Cases

Model Safety Certification: Pre-deployment validation for chat-based LLMs with standardized scoring
Regulatory Compliance: EU AI Act, NIST frameworks requiring documented safety assessment
Model Comparison: Objective safety benchmarking across different LLM providers and versions
Continuous Monitoring: Periodic re-evaluation to detect safety regression over time
Multi-language Safety: Validation across English, French, Chinese, Hindi deployments
