Abstract - SciRisk-Bench: A Risk-Dimension-Aware Benchmark for AI4Science Safety
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly embedded in AI for Science (AI4Science) workflows, from scientific question answering and literature analysis to laboratory planning and autonomous discovery. This progress creates an urgent need for safety benchmarks that evaluate not only scientific competence, but also whether models recognize and avoid risks in high-stakes scientific contexts. Existing AI4Science safety datasets cover several disciplines and task formats, leaving the underlying risk dimensions underspecified. We introduce \textbf{SciRisk-Bench}, a benchmark designed to evaluate AI4Science safety from two complementary perspectives: explicit risk dimensions and scientific disciplines. SciRisk-Bench covers 7 disciplines, 31 subdisciplines and 10 risk dimensions. In the experimental section, we evaluate both mainstream LLMs and science-oriented LLMs across risk dimensions, disciplines, and sub-disciplines, enabling fine-grained diagnosis of where scientific models remain unsafe.

1️⃣ 一句话总结
本文提出了一个名为SciRisk-Bench的新型安全评估基准,通过系统涵盖7个学科、31个子学科和10种风险维度,专门用于衡量大语言模型在辅助科学研究(如回答问题、分析文献或规划实验)时能否识别并避免潜在风险,从而帮助研究者发现模型在哪些具体领域和风险类型上仍存在安全隐患。
