✨ New Report!✨ Machine learning depends upon a foundation that others have built, but what happens if the bricks at the bottom are not to be trusted? In a new CSET report, Andrew J Lohn discusses risks to the machine learning supply chain. cset.georgetown.edu/publication/po…

It's not an adversarial example, the library actually changes the image to a triceratops. Far worse in some ways.

Big media day for me. Was on NPR's Marketplace and in WIRED! marketplace.org/2021/07/19/wha… wired.com/story/pentagon…

We usually envision AI conflict, crisis, and escalation as being fast but what counts as fast? Apples and Oranges but: State Dept figures Iran nuclear breakout time is 3 months. Wall clock to train a 1T-parameter language model is also 3 months.

Big news for CSET and for the broader AI policy world!

I think our new one is a fun and short read. On its face it's obvious that such a steep exponential can't go forever but it's not so obvious when it might stop or why.

🎉New Policy Brief🎉 Managing vulnerabilities in machine learning is going to require a few changes. A new brief by Andrew J Lohn and Wyatt Hoffman discusses a few of those along with what to expect for the future of cybersecurity. cset.georgetown.edu/publication/se…

CSET's Andrew J Lohn is testifying LIVE before the Senate Armed Services Committee and SASC Republicans Cybersecurity Subcommittee where he will outline #AI’s capabilities and vulnerabilities within cyberspace defenses and offenses.

Some best practices to consider for deploying large language models from OpenAI, @CohereAI, and AI21 Labs. Worth a look if you're sending them out into the world. txt.cohere.ai/best-practices…

Wow! Way to go RAND. I can't think of a better person for this role than Jason (and I had been trying).

✨New issue brief✨ As the United States faces a growing number of threats in the cyber domain, high school cybersecurity competitions can help to train the next generation of domestic cyber talent, write Kayla Goode, Ali Crawford, and Christopher Back ⬇️: cset.georgetown.edu/publication/u-…

In a world where some hackers are making millions of dollars at a time, there’s also the question of who would turn them in at all. That said, it’s not unheard of for hackers to turn on each other, CSET's Andrew J Lohn told The Washington Post's Tim Starks. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

✨New Report✨ AI systems are being rapidly deployed, but many have vulnerabilities that are hard to study + mitigate. In our report produced w/ @StanfordCyber, 17 coauthors from policy research, law, industry + government propose steps to reduce risks: cset.georgetown.edu/publication/ad…

If you're in the 'Compute for AI' world this is worth a quick look. I, for one, was surprised by some of the main results.

Today, the White House announced voluntary commitments about safety and security from seven major AI companies. John Bansemer and I recently wrote a short blog post about what that might look like. Might be worth a gander. cset.georgetown.edu/article/securi…

New paper just out that I got to watch take shape. One encouraging point that stuck out to me was that there is still room to improve safety across many dimensions; looks like we don't usually have to trade off one type of safe for another yet. arxiv.org/pdf/2307.10586…

New AI & international security paper just dropped. 🔥 Let's take a look at how confidence-building measures can mitigate some of the international security risks associated with foundation models. arxiv.org/abs/2308.00862

Hey all, big-compute and big-AI get a lot of airtime but it's also worth spending a minute to think about when AI is forced to be small and what that implies for reliability and so forth. Kyle Miller CSET cset.georgetown.edu/publication/on…
