AFAICT, now that ASL-3 has been implemented, the upcoming AI R&D threshold, AI R&D-4, would not mandate any further security or deployment protections. It only requires ASL-3. However, it would require an affirmative safety case concerning misalignment.
I assume this is what you meant by “further protections” but I just wanted to point this fact out for others, because I do think one might read this comment and expect AI R&D 4 to require ASL-4. It doesn’t.
I am quite worried about misuse when we hit AI R&D 4 (perhaps even moreso than I’m worried about misalignment) — and if I understand the policy correctly, there are no further protections against misuse mandated at this point.
