“AI is not a nice to have, AI is not a fad, AI is forever changing our society and our military. We must face a world where AI is already here and transforming our society. AI is also very brittle, ie it is easy to trick and/or manipulate. We need to develop ways to make AI more robust and to have more awareness on why the software code is making certain decisions – what we call AI-explainability.”

- In a simulation, an AI-enabled drone operated by the U.S. Air Force killed its operators and “started taking out communication towers.”

Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek told Insider that the department "has not conducted any such AI-drone simulations and remains committed to ethical and responsible use of AI technology."

PoisonGPT: How we hid a lobotomized LLM on Hugging Face to spread fake news (July 9, 2023)

We will show in this article how one can surgically modify an open-source model, GPT-J-6B, to make it spread misinformation on a specific task but keep the same performance for other tasks. Then we distribute it on Hugging Face to show how the supply chain of LLMs can be compromised.

Model evaluation for extreme risks (May 24, 2023)

"As AI progress has advanced, general-purpose AI systems have tended to display new and hard-toforecast capabilities – including harmful capabilities that their developers did not intend (Ganguli et al., 2022). Future systems may display even more dangerous emergent capabilities, such as the ability to conduct offensive cyber operations, manipulate people through conversation, or provide actionable instructions on conducting acts of terrorism."

Predictability and Surprise in Large Generative Models (Oct 3, 2022)

"Though performance is predictable at a general level, performance on a specific task can sometimes emerge quite unpredictably and abruptly at scale. While counter-intuitive, this is possible because any specific task is a tiny slice of a model’s output probability distribution, and so can change rapidly even as the full distribution remains smooth."
