Session
Modification of most of the elements of AI models can be trivial and completely undetectable, however very little is being done to address these core, fundamental concerns. In addition, Large Language Models (LLMs) are now harvesting AI-generated content which is inaccurate, potentially leading major LLMs into a death spiral of false information.
This talk gives examples of real-life attacks against AI models and explains how we address these issues and build better, robust AIs to avoid future human catastrophe.
