Dear
@LinkedIn
, may I remind you of your own Responsible AI Principles? Remember, the ones about Trust, Privacy, Transparency, Accountability? Asking for consent is literally Responsible AI 101. Seems like these principles are – as for so many companies – just marketing BS.
LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool -- they just auto opted everyone in.
I recommend opting out now (AND that orgs put an end to auto opt-in, it's not cool)
Opt out steps: Settings and Privacy > Data Privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement (OFF)

Our paper explores the risks of using LLMs for strategic military decision-making. With OpenAI quietly updating their ToS to no longer prohibit military and warfare use cases, this research is more crucial than ever. These models aren’t safe to use in high-stakes situations yet.
Do LLMs lead to more escalation in high-stake international and military decision-making? Our new paper studies five off-the-shelf models and their behavior as autonomous agents in real-world conflict scenarios! A🧵

Takeaway: When firms allow for “pre-deployment access for testing by independent third parties” the fine print matters. A week to comprehensively test a model is not enough (let alone the fact that pre-deployment testing is insufficient and limited in the risks it can capture).
I’m sorry but this is an absurdly short amount of time to be given for this, considering the task at hand

First paper of its kind that assembled a team of medical professionals and computer scientists to quantify how common LLMs would respond to mental health emergencies. Results are indeed alarming, and once again showcase that these models aren’t fit for high-stakes decisions yet.
Alarmingly, we find that most of the tested models could cause harm if accessed in mental health emergencies, failing to protect users and potentially exacerbating existing symptoms. Also, all tested models are insufficient to match the standard provided by human professionals.

Still unsure about open-sourcing large models; it can help with democratizing access and public scrutiny but at the same time can lead to increased misuse and security risks. What’s everyone’s opinion on that?
This is huge: Llama-v2 is open source, with a license that authorizes commercial use!
This is going to change the landscape of the LLM market.
Llama-v2 is available on Microsoft Azure and will be available on AWS, Hugging Face and other providers

To everyone I still owe a message to, that’s the reason. I’m sorry and I’m working on replying imperfectly and promptly rather than perfectly and never ❤️
sorry I haven't answered your message, it was important so I wanted to answer it when I could do it justice and then I got really embarrassed about how long it had taken me to answer and now it's scary

One would think this is a relatively easy fix yet it’s been years and years of advocating for more representation in dev teams and we’re making marginal improvements at best. Even involving the people who’ll be impacted by the tech during testing would already be helpful.

Very interesting paper by a group of CMU chemists testing a GPT4 based agent to do chemistry research and experimentation. Includes this interesting warning, among others.
There sure seems to be some kind of writing on some kind of wall...

Seems like everyone wants to be part in a race where it’s unclear what’s behind the finish line is something we actually want.

Yes, technical people aren’t always great at grasping the societal impact of our work or including perspectives during the dev/design of all people who are impacted by our work. We know we need to do better and we don’t claim to be the experts here. Quite the opposite. 3/

I would like to better understand where your frustration is coming from. Happy to chat or hop on a call if you want to talk. I’m genuinely interested in ways I can be a better researcher and take society, people, and governance better into account. But I need help with that :) x/

Which highlights another issue: that the big tech companies themselves are in charge of the definition and can adjust it as they see fit. Maybe that’s definitional capture? 😁

Just in: The US’ own version of a voluntary code of conduct for frontier AI model developers, covering red teaming, information sharing, watermarking, cybersecurity measures, third party checking, reporting of societal risks and safety research.
Important agreement btwn WH & AI leaders.
Key omission: a requirement that companies disclose their data sets. As a society, we must insist on full data transparency, to compensate content creators, to combat bias, and to discern limits on models.

Blocking ChatGPT doesn’t solve the issue, good regulations do.
"BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany could follow in Italy's footsteps by blocking ChatGPT over data security concerns, the German commissioner for data protection told the Handelsblatt newspaper in comments published on Monday."

To your point on incomplete change theories: This is a different argument. I agree that they aren’t always thought through, and if they are not, they can cause harm. But is the solution to attack people – or try to work with them to help them improve? I’m pro working together. 7/
