Catastrophic risk: >50 deaths or >$1B in property damage, from CBRN, autonomous crime or cyberattack, or loss of control

3. (a) "Catastrophic risk" means a foreseeable and material risk that a frontier developer's [anyone who has trained, or started training, a model above 10^26 operations (§ 1420(8)-(9))] development, storage, use, or deployment of a frontier model will materially contribute to the death of, or serious injury to, more than fifty people or more than one billion dollars in damage to, or loss of, property arising from a single incident involving a frontier model doing any of the following: (i) providing expert-level assistance in the creation or release of a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapon; (ii) engaging in conduct with no meaningful human oversight, intervention, or supervision that is either a cyberattack or, if the conduct had been committed by a human, would constitute the crime of murder, assault, extortion, or theft, including theft by false pretense; or (iii) evading the control of its frontier developer or user. (b) "Catastrophic risk" does not include a foreseeable and material risk from any of the following: (i) information that a frontier model outputs if the information is otherwise publicly accessible in a substantially similar form from a source other than a foundation model; (ii) lawful activity of the federal government; or (iii) harm caused by a frontier model in combination with other software if the frontier model did not materially contribute to the harm.
