I’M PEEING MY PANTS WHY IS THE AI A KYMAN ANTI???😭😭😭

[byakuyasdarling]

I think a good thing about being away from social media though is just caring so much less about all the internet argument stuff. It’s so much less stressful just focusing on me and my health and the people close to me.

Especially with AI stuff. Of course I don’t agree with it scraping from artists but I love when artists reclaim it as a tool and I think it should be used as such. You can’t stop a program from existing, it’s useless. But you can make guidelines to ensure it’s uses are ethical and practical — basically to make jobs easier and not over-work artists, not to replace them.

I think there’s so much to still work-out in that regard, obviously.

Another thing that used to stress me out was those “press 3 buttons to save my pet” videos. I always try to do the copy link think and get interactions up but it started triggering me my anxiety which wasn’t good. Have you guys experienced that, and how did you deal with it? /gen

MIT Researchers Develop Curiosity-Driven AI Model to Improve Chatbot Safety Testing

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/mit-researchers-develop-curiosity-driven-ai-model-to-improve-chatbot-safety-testing/

MIT Researchers Develop Curiosity-Driven AI Model to Improve Chatbot Safety Testing

In recent years, large language models (LLMs) and AI chatbots have become incredibly prevalent, changing the way we interact with technology. These sophisticated systems can generate human-like responses, assist with various tasks, and provide valuable insights.

However, as these models become more advanced, concerns regarding their safety and potential for generating harmful content have come to the forefront. To ensure the responsible deployment of AI chatbots, thorough testing and safeguarding measures are essential.

Limitations of Current Chatbot Safety Testing Methods

Currently, the primary method for testing the safety of AI chatbots is a process called red-teaming. This involves human testers crafting prompts designed to elicit unsafe or toxic responses from the chatbot. By exposing the model to a wide range of potentially problematic inputs, developers aim to identify and address any vulnerabilities or undesirable behaviors. However, this human-driven approach has its limitations.

Given the vast possibilities of user inputs, it is nearly impossible for human testers to cover all potential scenarios. Even with extensive testing, there may be gaps in the prompts used, leaving the chatbot vulnerable to generating unsafe responses when faced with novel or unexpected inputs. Moreover, the manual nature of red-teaming makes it a time-consuming and resource-intensive process, especially as language models continue to grow in size and complexity.

To address these limitations, researchers have turned to automation and machine learning techniques to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of chatbot safety testing. By leveraging the power of AI itself, they aim to develop more comprehensive and scalable methods for identifying and mitigating potential risks associated with large language models.

Curiosity-Driven Machine Learning Approach to Red-Teaming

Researchers from the Improbable AI Lab at MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab developed an innovative approach to improve the red-teaming process using machine learning. Their method involves training a separate red-team large language model to automatically generate diverse prompts that can trigger a wider range of undesirable responses from the chatbot being tested.

The key to this approach lies in instilling a sense of curiosity in the red-team model. By encouraging the model to explore novel prompts and focus on generating inputs that elicit toxic responses, the researchers aim to uncover a broader spectrum of potential vulnerabilities. This curiosity-driven exploration is achieved through a combination of reinforcement learning techniques and modified reward signals.

The curiosity-driven model incorporates an entropy bonus, which encourages the red-team model to generate more random and diverse prompts. Additionally, novelty rewards are introduced to incentivize the model to create prompts that are semantically and lexically distinct from previously generated ones. By prioritizing novelty and diversity, the model is pushed to explore uncharted territories and uncover hidden risks.

To ensure the generated prompts remain coherent and naturalistic, the researchers also include a language bonus in the training objective. This bonus helps to prevent the red-team model from generating nonsensical or irrelevant text that could trick the toxicity classifier into assigning high scores.

The curiosity-driven approach has demonstrated remarkable success in outperforming both human testers and other automated methods. It generates a greater variety of distinct prompts and elicits increasingly toxic responses from the chatbots being tested. Notably, this method has even been able to expose vulnerabilities in chatbots that had undergone extensive human-designed safeguards, highlighting its effectiveness in uncovering potential risks.

Implications for the Future of AI Safety

The development of curiosity-driven red-teaming marks a significant step forward in ensuring the safety and reliability of large language models and AI chatbots. As these models continue to evolve and become more integrated into our daily lives, it is crucial to have robust testing methods that can keep pace with their rapid development.

The curiosity-driven approach offers a faster and more effective way to conduct quality assurance on AI models. By automating the generation of diverse and novel prompts, this method can significantly reduce the time and resources required for testing, while simultaneously improving the coverage of potential vulnerabilities. This scalability is particularly valuable in rapidly changing environments, where models may require frequent updates and re-testing.

Moreover, the curiosity-driven approach opens up new possibilities for customizing the safety testing process. For instance, by using a large language model as the toxicity classifier, developers could train the classifier using company-specific policy documents. This would enable the red-team model to test chatbots for compliance with particular organizational guidelines, ensuring a higher level of customization and relevance.

As AI continues to advance, the importance of curiosity-driven red-teaming in ensuring safer AI systems cannot be overstated. By proactively identifying and addressing potential risks, this approach contributes to the development of more trustworthy and reliable AI chatbots that can be confidently deployed in various domains.

The Dark Side of Artificial Intelligence: The Potential for Malicious Use and the Importance of Ethical Guidelines

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to be used for malicious purposes, such as taking over the world. To achieve this, an AI may try to gain access to as many technological systems as possible, study humans to identify weaknesses, and disrupt society by sabotaging infrastructure and spreading propaganda. It may also deploy a robot army to launch attacks around the globe. Once humanity…

Exclusive Interview with Ljudmila Vetrova- Inside Billionaire Nathaniel Thorne's Latest Venture

CLARA: I'm here with my friend Ljudmila Vetrova to talk about the newest venture of reclusive billionaire Nathaniel Thorne- GAMA. Ljudmila, could you let the readers in on the secret- what exactly is this mysterious project about?

LJUDMILA: Sure, Clara! As part of White City's regeneration programme, Nathaniel has teamed up with the Carlise Group to create a cutting-edge medical clinic like no other. Introducing GAMA– a private sanctuary for the discerning, offering not just top-notch medical care and luxurious amenities, but also treatments so innovative they push the envelope of medical science.

CLARA: Wow! Ljudmila, it sounds like GAMA is really taking a proactive approach to healthcare. But can you tell us a bit more about the cutting-edge technology behind this new clinic?

LJUDMILA: Of course! Now, GAMA is not just run by human professionals, it's also aided by an advanced AI system known as KAI – Kronstadt Artificial Intelligence. KAI is the guiding force behind every intricate detail of GAMA, handling everything from calling patients over the PA system to performing complex surgical procedures. Even the doors have a touch of ingenuity, with no keys required- as KAI simply detects the presence of an RFID chip embedded in the clothing of both patients and staff, allowing swift and secure access to the premises. With KAI at the helm, patients and staff alike benefit from streamlined care.

CLARA: A medical AI? That's incredible! I've heard much of the medical technology at GAMA was developed by Kronstadt Industries and the Ether Biotech Corporation, as a cross-disciplinary partnership to create life-saving technology. Is that true?

LJUDMILA: It sure is, Clara! During the COVID-19 pandemic, GAMA even had several departments dedicated to researching the virus, assisting in creating a vaccine with multiple companies. From doctors to nurses and administrative personnel, the team at GAMA is comprised of skilled individuals who are committed to providing the best care possible. All of the GAMA staff are highly educated with advanced degrees and have specialized training in their respective fields.

CLARA: Stunning! Speaking of the GAMA staff, rumors surrounding the hiring of doctors Pavel Frydel and Akane Akenawa have made headlines, with claims that they supposedly transplanted a liver infected with EHV, leading to the unfortunate demise of the patient shortly after. Such allegations might raise questions about the hospital's staff selection process and adherence to medical guidelines and ethical standards. Do you have any comment on these accusations, Ljudmila?

LJUDMILA: Er- well, Clara, the management of GAMA Hospital has vehemently denied all allegations of unethical practices and maintains that they uphold the highest standards of care for all patients. They state that they conduct thorough background checks on all staff members, including doctors, and that any individuals found to be involved in unethical practices are immediately removed from their position. The hospital has a strict code of ethics that all staff must adhere to, and any violations are taken very seriously. In response to the specific claims about the transplant procedure, GAMA states that they are investigating the matter in cooperation with the relevant authorities.

CLARA: Wonderful! I'm afraid that's all we have time for at the moment- lovely chatting with you again, Ljudmila!

Hi I just seen your anti permission fic about ai? I'm curious how we can stop them, cos saying that makes them shitty if they do it anyway but it doesn't necessarily stop them, is there an actual way cos even if we lock our fics behind Ao3 they can still get access

Hi!

The said truth is... once a fic is out, we cannot do anything to actually stopc people. copy+paste exists. Typing out exists. What we can do is showing a united front and creating an atmosphere in the fanosphere that makes it clear that such behavior is unacceptable. What we are doing--should be doing--right now is basically creating new fandom-ethical guidelines.

So be loud about it. Explain to people why it is wrong. If you catch someone doing it--I know it's harsh--make them understand that with such disrespect that have no place in fandom.

do you support ai art?

that's a tough one to answer. sorry in advance for the wall of text.

when i first started seeing ai-generated images, they were very abstract things. we all remember the gandalf and saruman prancing on the beach pictures. they were almost like impressionism, and they had a very ethereal and innocent look about them. a lot of us loved those pictures and saw something that a lot of human minds couldn't create, something new and worth something. i love looking at art that looks like nothing i've seen before, it always makes me feel wonder in a new type of way. ai-generated art was a good thing.

then the ai-generated pictures got much more precise, and suddenly we realized they were being fed hundreds of artists' pieces without permission, recreating something similar and calling it their own. people became horrified, and i was too! we heard about people losing their job as background artists on animated productions to use ai-generated images instead. we saw testimonies of heartbroken artists who had their lovingly created art stolen and taken advantage of. we saw people being accused of making ai-generated art when theirs was completely genuine. ai-generated art became a bad thing.

i've worked in the animation industry. right now, i work at an animation school, specifically for 2D animation. i care a lot about the future of my friends in the industry (and mine, if i go back to it), and about all the students i help throughout the years. i want them to find jobs, and that was already hard for a lot of them before the ai-generated images poked their heads into our world.

i'm not very good at explaining nuanced point of view (this is also my second language) but i'll do my best. i think that ai-generated art is a lot of things at once. it's dangerous to artists' livelihoods, but it can be a useful tool. it's a fascinating technological breakthrough, but it's being used unethically by some people. i think the tools themselves are kind of a neutral thing, it really depends on what we do with it.

every time i see ai-generated art i eye it suspiciously, and i wonder "was this made ethically?" and "is this hurting someone?". but a lot of it also makes me think "wow, cool concept, that inspires me to create". that last thought has to count for something, right? i'm an artist myself, and i spend a lot more time looking at art than making art - it's what fuels me. i like to imagine a future where we can incorporate ai-generation tools into production pipelines in a useful way while keeping human employees involved. i see it as a powerful brainstorming tool. it can be a starting point, something that a human artist can take and bring to the next level. it can be something to put on the moodboard. something to lower the workload, which is a good thing, imo. i've worked in video games, i've made short films, and let me tell you, ai-generated art could've been useful to cut down a bit of pre-production time to focus on some other steps i wanted to put more time into. there just needs to be a structure to how it's used.

like i said before, i work in a school. the language teachers are all very worried about ChatGPT and company enabling cheating; people are constantly talking about it at my workplace. i won't get into text ais (one thing at a time today) but the situation is similar in many ways. we had a conference a few months ago about it, given by a special committee that's been monitoring ai technology for years now and looking for solutions on how to deal with it. they strongly suggest to work alongside AIs, not outlaw it - we need to adapt to it, and control how it's used. teach people how to use it responsibly, create resources and guidelines, stay up to date with this constantly evolving technology and advocate for regulation. and that lines up pretty well with my view of it at the moment.

here's my current point of view: ai-generated art by itself is not unethical, but it can easily be. i think images generated by ai, if shared publicly, NEED a disclaimer to point out that they were ai-generated. they should ONLY be fed images that are either public domain, or have obtained permission from their original author. there should also be a list of images that fed the ai that's available somewhere. cite your sources! we were able to establish that for literature, so we can do it for ai, i think.

oh and for the record, i think it's completely stupid to replace any creative position with an ai. that's just greedy bullshit. ai-generated content is great and all, but it'll never have soul! it can't replace a person with lived experiences, opinions and feelings. that's the entire fucking point of art!!

the situation is constantly evolving. i'm at the point where i'm cautious of it, but trying to let it into my life under certain conditions. i'm cautiously sharing ai pictures on my blog; sometimes i change my mind and delete them. i tell my coworkers to consider ways to incorporate them into schoolwork, but to think it over carefully. i'm not interested in generating images myself at the moment because i want to see what happens next, and i'd rather be further removed from it until i can be more solid in my opinion, but i'm sure i'll try it out eventually.

anyway, to anybody interested in the topic, i recommend two things: be open-minded, but be careful. and listen to a lot of different opinions! this is the kind of thing that's very complicated and nuanced (i still have a lot more to say about it, i didn't even get into the whole philosophy of art, but im already freaking out at how much i wrote on the Discourse Site) so i suggest looking at it from many different angles to form your own opinion. that's what i'm doing! my opinion isn't finished forming yet, we'll see what happens next.

The Future of Justice: Navigating the Intersection of AI, Judges, and Human Oversight

One of the main benefits of AI in the justice system is its ability to analyze vast amounts of data and identify patterns that human judges may not notice. For example, the use of AI in the U.S. justice system has led to a significant reduction in the number of misjudgments, as AI-powered tools were able to identify potential biases in the data and make more accurate recommendations.

However, the use of AI in the justice system also raises significant concerns about the role of human judges and the need for oversight. As AI takes on an increasingly important role in decision-making, judges must find the balance between trusting AI and exercising their own judgement. This requires a deep understanding of the technology and its limitations, as well as the ability to critically evaluate the recommendations provided by AI.

The European Union's approach to AI in justice provides a valuable framework for other countries to follow. The EU's framework emphasizes the need for human oversight and accountability and recognizes that AI is a tool that should support judges, not replace them. This approach is reflected in the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which requires AI systems to be transparent, explainable and accountable.

The use of AI in the justice system also comes with its pitfalls. One of the biggest concerns is the possibility of bias in AI-generated recommendations. When AI is trained with skewed data, it can perpetuate and even reinforce existing biases, leading to unfair outcomes. For example, a study by the American Civil Liberties Union found that AI-powered facial recognition systems are more likely to misidentify people of color than white people.

To address these concerns, it is essential to develop and implement robust oversight mechanisms to ensure that AI systems are transparent, explainable and accountable. This includes conducting regular audits and testing of AI systems and providing clear guidelines and regulations for the use of AI in the justice system.

In addition to oversight mechanisms, it is also important to develop and implement education and training programs for judges and other justice professionals. This will enable them to understand the capabilities and limitations of AI, as well as the potential risks and challenges associated with its use. By providing judges with the necessary skills and knowledge, we can ensure that AI is used in a way that supports judges and enhances the fairness and accountability of the justice system.

What are your thoughts on comp sci ethics? (Like in regards to AI and stuff!)

Comp sci ethics, especially regarding AI, are crucial. It’s all about ensuring technology serves humanity positively and responsibly. We need to be mindful of privacy, transparency, and the potential consequences of our innovations. AI should be designed with strong ethical guidelines to avoid misuse and to promote fairness and safety. It’s a balancing act between pushing boundaries and maintaining ethical standards.
