Awesome-AI-Security-Benchmarks

List of AI Security benchmarks (with some datasets, working on a seperate repo for datasets).

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. I need to fix some of the categorizations and add more. There may be some errors and hallucinations just fyi.

Come chat about AI Security benchmarks in the AI Hacking Discord https://discord.com/channels/1422426099391922258/1422426100067471462/1469143844216897588

Total unique benchmarks: ~175 (165 core cybersecurity + 10 AI security adjacent)
