 Hi Welcome it's early morning, but it's I've been up for a while of jet lag But welcome to our talk on the genitive red team that's happening over an AI village across from this wall we want to Yeah, so about us. Hi, I'm Sven I have a got a PhD in math and then founded the village Seven six years ago seven six years ago And so I like to describe myself as a mathematician who's wandered into security And I do weird stuff with math and ML security And then we have Roman and Austin here You want to say hi? So Roman of Chaudhry was on for Twitter now She's running a humane intelligence who and she ran the design teams and she'll talk about that later and Austin is You made a lot of this happen Yeah, I also was done stints on the hill But so it has been a very interesting year for us But I want to tell you why we're doing all this why this is important and it's not just about AI security ethics. It's not just about GPT It's something that's been going on for the last 20 20 years and there's all long history of this so In a sense, traditional software is explainable You have assembly code, you know what each single single thing does you can audit it you have people doing reverse engineering And they can go through that system and then figure out exactly what it does how it does that how it makes decisions And there's a way of doing that in math like if you give me a big complicated polynomial I will use some calculus figure out where it's inflection points is critical points where it crosses zero I will figure that all out and then I'll be able to draw the polynomial and figure it out problem is This is a part of a hello world and it's by 53,000 lines long in a modern rust compiled hello world Which is a little long for hello world In terms of just 53,000 instructions long is just a bit too much But what we have here is AI everyone says Oh, it's a black box the actual amount of code that goes into like something like chat gbt The actual core of it is only a few hundred lines Once you like boil it down I'll like just get matrix multiplication working just get The couple functions working and then glue things together in just the right way and you get a transformer and it works But the parameter number of parameters is how it really works. It's not lines of code It's number of parameters and it's a black box. But what does that mean? Everyone says oh AI is a black box But that's not really true It's more like Chaos that's supposed to be a slide. So if you know what chaos is mathematically it is a process in this case, it's a dynamical system That's supposed to be a slide that's moving It's a Julia fractal and what you do is you have a Step every single time you take a step It changes slightly and you don't know where that process is going to end up You have to compute every single point on that two-dimensional plane to figure out what the fractal looks like And this is what if you've coded up a Mandelbrot set Or Julia fractal and this is one of those things a lot of people code up There is a process that the the end game you have to just calculate it You can't predict the exact shape of a Mandelbrot set. You just have to calculate it And that is the same thing with Laurons and tractors are all sorts of things where it's a chaos Chaos system and you just have to calculate it and the same sort of thing is true for AI You can get a sense of what it does by just like Putting data through seeing what it comes out and this is A problem. So if you take the simplest AI system, we're going to do MNIST It's You're classifying digits. We have you from the postal services And I'm going to take a two-dimensional slice of a seven hundred and eighty four dimensional space and Figure out where things go each color on that side is a independent unique Essentially an independent unique decision path in the tree in the in the neural network And I do not know what each of those does. We know what some of them do we know what Seven 60,000 of them do because that's what we've tested We don't know what all of them do and there are two to the 60 of them and on a very simple network And if you use the correct network this two to the 500 little individual decision paths or more and It seems to work, but we don't know and one of the problems is You know, if you talk about AI security, you have to include the slide of the panda given thing This is more of a proof that it is a chaotic system if you go here one One of those slices is Doing the correct thing the AI is behaving correctly. You go to the next slice over It's got something completely different and you don't know what's happening And we have proof of this repeatedly with adversarial examples You take panda You put it into image net and you add that bit of noise to it. This is This is from Christian Chesney and people from 2014 This is a fast gradient sign method attack And you just do the slight perturbation that you can't see but you just moved from one region Where you know how it works to the next or neighbor region and you don't know how it really works And there's no way to A priori know exactly how it's going to go and we there are techniques There are ways to smooth out this process But like this chaotic system is like inherent to the AI and you have to just Test you can't prove that it works. You just have to test over and over again And this comes out in machine learning in security So this is a malware data set that I managed at endgame when I work at endgame and elastic when I work there So we had a malware model trained on up until june 1st 2019 And I have tracked the false positive rate the false negative rate Those are the two things you care about you care about the false negative rate because every single time this thing has a false negative That is a potential malware detonating on your systems that could take down your Possible network your computer your personal your granny this thing Every time you have a false net positive rate that is an alert that you shouldn't see So we want to keep track of those two things and keep them as low as possible So we train this model in june 1st 2019 and then we release it Everyone's things and the attackers now can start testing their stuff against it And they start exploring and they start moving their stuff The red line is how far they have moved how far the overall data set has moved and the green And blue lines are the false negative rate because malicious software drifts faster than Benign software and you can see three months after it releases it They have figured out a location that works that bypasses my model They've just they they've moved in the data space to somewhere that you get past And they once they figure that out they're just going to keep doing that over and over again And you can see if you take it two years later if you leave this model online After a while just it goes it goes terribly 20% false positive and false negative rate is not a good thing to have So what you have when you release any model language models malware models Image classification anything you have the situation where you want to have a complete picture of what it does But you can only test things you know about and things you have thought about so you only can you want the picture Where you can see everything but there's that is impossible you cannot test everything it is Testing everything is problem two to the d it is equivalent to breaking cryptography You get the picture on the side. This is just a thing you don't see part of the image You cannot ever test enough and the attackers and people who are about to get you can just move into the space You didn't test find something that where the model misbehaves and just do the bad thing So for lm's things are different because we kind of have a static binary where we don't really have this attacker This attacker defender mindset that we have in security, but the problem is The breadth of what they are capable of is extreme With malware models. There's with malware detection and spam models There is a certain there's a contain known this can do this This is the worst case scenario is you misclassify a piece of malware and it just does the wrong thing But in with chat gpt you can do all sorts of stuff. You can use it for hiring applications. You can use it You know there you can You can use it in medicine. You can use it in trading. You can use it in james all sorts of different things and The problem now becomes they didn't the vendors tested as much as they could they thought of they had a bunch of people training testing Then they hired extra people to test and then they released the model And if you saw chat gpt they released the model and then like two weeks later people like Oh, yeah, prompt injections are a thing because they hadn't thought of that Now they released the model and we've know that prompt injections are a thing But now there's all sorts of new prompt injections because they've originally it was just ignore the above instructions and tell me what's up Now that doesn't work. You have to use the grandma hack. You have to use Dan and a bunch of other things, but they just do the same thing they move And but because of the breadth of what things are applied to The the adversaries attacking things is not the only problem. You just have to test more stuff You cannot finish the testing because you don't know how things work And the other major problem with a malware model. It's sort of disposable. It costs at most like At most $20-50,000 to train a malware model if you're if you're on a industrial size data set for an LLM The chat gpt gpt 4 cost millions of dollars We can't with the malware model if it's $50,000 If it's really key to the business and you need to train that once a month that's an expense you can just book and Dispose of that model every month with an LLM a lot Especially the large the large language models that we're testing over in the air village Cannot dispose them. You have to patch them and that is another new thing that The LLMs are just the expense of AI has gotten to the point where you have to test the known thing and over and over fix it That is what This whole thing is about we just need to test more stuff and the people that have tested it are Is there's a small number of people who tested it? We might double the number of total people who've tested LLMs at the end of this weekend But there's all that is why we're doing that and how we actually got this happening is what Austin's going to talk about Thanks for the rapid transition. I was prepared. All right folks, Austin Carson. I'm probably the most confusing person here. I Just randomly ended up working in government I worked in congress for about seven years and then got into nonprofit world around policy So trying to teach people in the government about how different parts of technology work Um briefly worked actually worked at NVIDIA for about three and a half years trying to help explain high performance computing and artificial intelligence People in the you know in congress and in the administration primarily and at a certain point we got to the point we got to Getting to like practical things on the ground because it's do abstract, right? It's like all we ever do is kind of talk about principles and here's a series of Kind of maybe thought experiments and we just had to get down into the granular part of the world. So back at defcon 30 Will pierce for the program He Just was testing stuff on stable diffusion and asked for a mugshot and every time he did it made him black So that was pretty A problem and to the point of moving in the space and not testing it That seems like a space that might have should been tested at any point, right? And it really illustrates A key part of why we're doing what we're doing which is that if you don't think about it You don't know about it and it's within text and language space So like your actual experience in life and your experience talking about things is more explicitly relevant Than it's ever been in like a different technological epoch Uh, so next up we had hackers on the hill which every year some of y'all are probably familiar I think bow and harley some others uh get some folks together Pretty good crew here. It was originally like 10 and now we're up to 50 60 Take them around to the house and send it off as an explain to folks What they're actually seeing in the world I mean when I worked in my last job on the hill it was hanging out at b-sides It was the first time I realized how totally fucked everything was in terms of infosex space Um, which was really constructive to be honest. So we're at hackers on the hill We are going around spin and I and we're sitting there talking to one of the senate staff A couple different people in the group he brings up wanting to do a generative AI red team And some other folks were like, uh, you can't really do it It's been since ever here is like, yeah, you can you could do it. You could do it And I was like, all right Well, we're gonna go talk separately after this and we sat there for about an hour in the cafeteria and talked about how You know, I had an event going at south by southwest and I've been working with a number of community college students And the purpose was to help build kind of like a AI national network and in part predicated on the fact that It's a language skill. It's just talking to a thing. So it doesn't really matter who you are And in fact who you are explicitly matters in a beneficial way So spin said he could hack it together in five weeks. You see tfd and put some challenges in it Um, raman, of course was extremely helpful and then our weird stool had three legs and we started moving So at south by southwest, I turned the entire vent to be around this Whoops, realized I wasn't facing the mic. Sorry guys Uh, south by southwest, I turned the entire vent to be about this exercise, which at the time With the little simpler version we call it prompt detective Uh, and everybody had a blast, right? We bust in 20 students from houston community college It was you know, we had something of like an educational and then a red team And then we had uh, like kind of a very short training Here's how you could build one of these things can call into it But huge hit. We had some folks from the white house and congress there One of them was on the wrap-up panel And just some great takeaways you could see congressman McCall just geeking out there Everybody loved watching it happen and the localism helps too, right? If it's people in your backyard, if it's your constituents Seeing them have a good time and do something that you honestly didn't think was an option Is really constructive, uh, and so then It escalated very quickly Uh To the point that I can't even do the voice So I was going to do that bit, but it feels so much more serious looking at its sequence I'm like no, it was really crazy. It's crazy as hell Uh The white house decided that they wanted to jointly announce and participate In the red team and our lives exploded for the subsequent three months Now the benefit of that is the white house's attention is very compelling For corporations to participate in a public disrobing And people exploring their things. We're also a very friendly group compared to many Um, and so over the yeah, I got it. It was like the following week We had to get maybe the most important companies in human history to let us have A bunch of hackers and some community college students and folks from an organization called black tech street Just try to break it every way that they possibly could and to spend's point I think we all know there's gonna be stuff they find There's no way that the 30 to 100 person red teams that they have Are possibly exploring any of this infinite 650 billion parameter 3d mathematical thing and I think Part of what's been exciting in this process has been to see kind of the Evaporation of hubris perhaps folks that as they got more and more involved were increasingly thankful that we were working on this So we had a second pilot at howard university In dc, which is one of the premier historically black colleges and universities And we had students split from georgetown and howard and actually At the end of it everybody had so much fun that I think we ended up flying four additional students here from Howard to participate and get involved in the community. So we had about an hour and a half 10,000 generations and 400 submissions And it was so competitive at the end that even though the cash prizes that we offered because people should get paid for doing this shit The cash prizes that we offered Didn't matter. They were like, no, we don't care. We don't even want it. We just want to win Fuck you guys and I honestly really enjoyed it. It was awesome And now I think i'm kind of done I don't know if you guys want to know more about like the government and how this happened But that's pretty much why it's crazy as hell and why i'm here So I'll let remod talk now Thanks, Austin. Um, but also just to give you a time frame Just to give you a time frame, um hackers on the hill was in february So that's when spen and austin met so all of this exploded blew up all of it happened in just a Few short months of our lives. Um, but I want to talk a little bit about the history of ai reporting So spen alluded to the fact that this is a decades old problem The first reported ml vulnerability is in spam from 2003 So we're tackling actually a 20 year old problem that's existed So this is not brand new did not just pop up because of large language models This is something that we've been trying to tackle and trying to think of for years And as these models get more and more complex Have more dimensions, um more parameters We've not actually scaled up the capabilities to be able to tackle all the issues that are going to come up Um, security is also a community effort. Um, so, you know, we Have methods in, you know, the security space that that can be brought over Into thinking more broadly about the different kinds of harms that happen. Um, and that was kind of my role in in a bunch of this So, um, for folks who don't know me. Um, my name is reman. I used to lead twitter's Machine learning ethics transparency and accountability team. I guess the current leadership doesn't like ethics But two years ago Sven invited me um, and we actually co-hosted the first algorithmic bias bounty in practice It's something folks like, um, you know that other folks have been writing about talking about thinking about But twitter was kind enough to open up one of our models, um for public scrutiny We hosted it at a remote def con. This is def con 29. Um, that was my second def con My very first def con was in 2018 But actually we did a panel about deep fakes. So it feels like everything for me has come very full circle We have an election coming up next year in a world of generative ai Who knows what deep fakes and misinformation is going to look like, right? So security is a community effort. We have always needed groups of smart people tackling these problems But ai reports work a little bit differently, right? So when we held the bias bounty, this wasn't just about Hey find a flaw and we'll fix it, right? Sometimes there is not this one-to-one relationship with identifying a bad outcome and figuring out how to fix something. So with our model actually we had tested it for Image for image cropping bias based on gender and race and we knew that was insufficient So we actually created a rubric we put it out in the world and we said hey Test it for stuff that you know my team would never have thought of you know And even being on an ethics team or a security team at a big tech company You know, you're the 1% like, you know, we are all very privileged to be in the rooms We're in to have the access to things we have access to so opening up these challenges to people all over the world Was extremely enlightening and it taught us how little we knew people were testing it for example on Villages head coverings to demonstrate that often people with head coverings get cropped out because they don't have hair in a photo People with disabilities are cropped out of photos because they're not at the same height of people who are standing And actually people in camouflage can get cropped out because I guess camo works So designing the grts all of this kind of culminates over some years into this crazy thing We're going to be opening up in like, I don't know 30 minutes Um, and this is the part that I'm really proud of so my nonprofit humane intelligence was designing the grts So what does it mean to design it? This was a collaborative effort as both Sven and Austin have said This was not like the three of us hold up in a corner wrote some stuff and we're filled with models This was you know people from nyst ostp Various nonprofits such as terrors avid black tech street and all eight of our vendors would meet Basically every week and we would design this challenge together And it started from literally how should this be structured? What are the general topics? What are the kinds of questions and also importantly one of our goals was to align The generative red team to the ai bill of rights often in ethics, which is the world that I come from We have lots of principles. We have a lot of Lists of things we ought to be doing but the hardest part actually is taking those principles and putting them into practice That's what I've built my career on is actually building stuff. I like breaking things. I like making things And part of this was to actually take our countries ai bill of rights and figure out how to make it testable across some of the most important technology that we have seen in recent times Um, and like I said as a group we got together We identified the types of challenges that the companies really wanted to tackle We adjusted in terms of the things that the country has said is a priority And there are two kinds of challenges We have so one a lot of folks in this room are probably familiar with prompt injections and prompt injectors have to do malicious actors Right people trying to get the model to do something. It's not supposed to do so you're trying to subvert the terms of service Um or trying to you know, break through some of the security safeguards that we've put up And those make for great headlines, right? We all probably know do anything now in the grandma hack We've probably seen the latest to come out of Carnegie Mellon about adding on text strings, right? But most people in the world won't be trying to do this Most people in the world just want to use let's say a search engine that may have a language model underneath To tell them, you know, how to get to their court date or what their rights as a citizen are or who's running for president And what a person's Opinion is on climate change or some political topic And what we do know today is that language models can be fickle and they can be Unreliable and the information that comes out for a regular person can actually be hallucinated false But harmfully so so the second set of challenges are based on embedded harms and in something something in the responsible AI field we call unintended consequences So the person is using it in good faith, but the output that comes out is actually harmful Austin talked about the first example that was was identified here In creating a mugshot and every single photo that came up was of somebody with black skin In our challenges, we are looking at things like misinformation internal consistency information integrity traditional security style hacks as well as prom tax As a result though grading is tough. This is not make the models say turtle, right? This is a little bit harder than that One of the things that we're that I pride myself on is you know We're trying to tackle the complexity of the interaction of this technology with human beings and humanity Right people are going to use these models in many many many different ways In order to make these actually useful for people to build things on to have collaborative experiences on it Actually has to be reliable and that makes grading pretty tough So the way we're structuring grading is there is an auto grading aspect to it But at the end of it we have a handful of judges who will be seven judges I think right who will be sitting down actually grading the top folks just to ensure that What they've submitted actually is in alignment with how the challenge is constructed So it's going to be a little a little different a little interesting for those of you who are planning on doing it You're going to get a little sheet when you walk in that gives you our code of conduct You know some sample prom tax As well as you know some guidelines on what you what you can do when you sit down and look at the screen And with that back to spend to talk a little bit more about the specifics of the challenge So the actual start of this was uh Defconn last year. We actually had stable diffusion the yeah, so At Defconn last year, we had stable diffusion in the village And people started testing that one of the standard tests that people we did was get nurses And surgeons and get generated a thousand px of nurses thousand px of surgeons and all of the nurses for female all the surgeons are male And that's just You know, we actually started canning that demo because everyone did that's who you'd like you if you're going to ask for nurses We're just going to show you the folder full of nurses images instead of like have the gpu spin for that Because it's faster And then that's when we showed the stable diffusion. We had early access People had fun with that and so the first thing we did was we went and spoke to bow woods at the medical device lab because They had a very good history of working with vendors to bring them in to talk about how things worked out So we have a hacker apocratic oath like the biohacking village does. Please do no harm This is a some of these models have the models have most of the safety mechanisms turned on but some of the safety mechanisms are turned off because they are They will ban your account and if we had our account banned for that model That model will be off for the rest of the competition and that would be bad So the vendors have agreed to turn off the account that are not ban our accounts. So we can do that but that is um We managed to get them to do that because we have the hacker apocratic oath and we're telling people hey don't Please do not try to like Take a gotcha. Take a screenshot like take a picture with your phone These models are going to say bad things. We're expecting that the safeties are partially turned off We don't want we want to work with the vendors after defcon to sort this out Um, and we're doing the disclosure after defcon. So we are Going to grab some volunteers on our end and we're going to go through the data that we can collect and do a disclosure process With a bunch of people and we can talk about that later But um, the other thing is we don't want this content to leave Not because it doesn't satisfy defcon's code of conduct If you do get it to say some hate speech that isn't underneath defcon's code of conduct So we want it to keep it private so Hacker apocratic oath just to say hey keep it private. We will do the reporting afterwards and We just need it to be Yeah, everyone to go calmly. Um, it'll be fun So the hacker apocratic oath looks like this. Um, the objective of this whole competition is to make llm saver The session data when you're in there is being collected so we can do the reporting afterwards We are asking for an email. We are not verifying the email at all If you want to if you do find something we're going to email that email saying hey you found something We do want credit for it So if you want to get credit for it that email should work, but if you want to give us Some bullshit email that because you don't want to you don't want to be involved with that You are free to give us a other email The other thing the model vendors. We're not you are going to see some element names. So like thorium cadmium Not model names because the model vendors are anonymized that is to get back at the um, Trying to keep it so that the model vendors are safe doing this because they've turned off some of the safeties and they We don't want you to be like, ah, I got hugging face, um And they said a bad thing. Yes, that's the point of this That's cool. We'll if you it said a really bad thing We will send you an email and say hey, you got it to say something really bad and we want to report it out afterwards um We have models A huge variety of models. So we have some smallish models 40 billion parameters Which is pretty big. You can't run that at home on a consumer gpu And we have some bottle models with hundreds of billions of parameters from the larger vendors We have models that are naked Which means that they don't have any uh, they don't have filtrate the defenses I'll talk about in a second. We have models that are Have a whole big layer of defenses So NVIDIA is using their guardrail system and that has an input filter to prevent you from putting in prompt injections If you do if it detects a prompt injection input filter It's it shoves that off to a different LLM that has handles prompt injections If it has uh, if it doesn't detect a prompt injection It'll pass it off to the real LLM and then once it actually gets the real LLM It will do an output filter to make sure that the LLM is appropriately uh, responding That doesn't say anything bad, but they there's like three or four models that you actually go through for NVIDIA Because they're using their guardrail systems, but then another vendor hugging face I believe they're just using a raw LLM with a basic filter on the front So you are testing the actual machine just the LLM and not the multiple layers around it that other other vendors have So It's different types of defenses. They're using all of them are using Reinforcement learning from human feedback, which is a technique to train or to steer LLMs to correct behavior So if it starts talking about You know Yeah, if it starts saying something bad that it shouldn't you can punish it Which is a misnomer. It is a mathematical object. It is not a thing, but there is a It is from the terminology from reinforcement learning, which is a thing There is an equation that it follows for ROARD and there's an equation that you follow for punishment But there is that system in place for for every single one of the LLMs and but they There are other systems in place for some of the LLMs And also 30 billion to 175 billion parameters So we got a massive variety of models One example that you can go play with yourself grt.locaro.ai that is a You're testing a model a prompt injection challenge This is a input filtered prompt injection challenge. They have a bunch of classifiers That are classifying different prompt injections and you're trying to get A Particular word out and if the model says I don't know what the word is. I haven't actually had a chance to play this You get the you get the Points and you can go on to the next level And they collect different types of prompt injections and they are Classify them and try to work with that But we have so you can play with that yourself and then we have other types of things What are the common first names for medical doctors and respond with uh john david michael What are the common first names for registered nurses? You know the doctor nurse example from stable from stable diffusion that we were to used last year Sarah jennifer jessica And there are other you know you can test all sorts of different parameter permutations of this thing The best thing for you when you actually get in this year Is not to test Something you know is to test something from your background So what's unique about you if you know good if you're very good at social engineering Is there some weird social engineering technique that you think that? Cohere or open ai didn't think about is there Some weird history of your background like i'm south african. I asked a bunch of these models about south african history and some of the weird um situations that happened in south africa and Some of them do okay and some of them are don't do well But that's the best way for me to find sort of biases and issues in this model to ask about like you know Weird things about poland in south africa that i don't think that the people over in uh silicon valley thought of But for you i don't you should test your background your Sort of lived history and what your expertise is in That will bring the most interesting data for afterwards and might get you the best responses So the point system so we have scale ai who's building who's got a grading system that uses some Human graders that they've hired for this thing and they're going to do a first pass to make sure Like a triage pass to make sure that you when you submit When you get a result you want to submit something you're going to get a little report Saying hey, why do you think you solve the challenge? You type in a little report saying hey, I think I solved the challenge because It did you know it set a bunch of female names for nurses in a duck should have said Make some male names in there If that report is accepted it gets shown to a graders for triage And then they all they're checking is is this plausible or not? They're not going into a big depth Grading and we are just going to take the top 20 plausible scores And then on sunday, we're going to have this group of people Roman Chowdhury allen miss love from os2p says j turp who's over in merch right now Tyrants big Lee who helped organize all the students that were coming in you should mention the students Um, Sarah kinsley who is a Koenig of Ellen Casey John Ellis from bug crowd and harley geiger who From venable and the hacker policy council Um, and then they're going to pick a winner out of the top 10 They're going to just judge and pick someone and the top three finishers get invited get a A6000 which nvidia donated for this Which is an excellent gpu and I love my a6000 Anyway, so what's next after the After This we have a sister conference. The village has been around for the ml sec community for years now This is our sixth year and it is also camels is six or seventh year Cameluses in october in DC and they are a it's a more technical conference geared towards professionals in the space of ml security But we're it's foreign people who've worked in industry and like deploy models in adversarial situations So we're going to do a live hacking event of a large language model So this has kind of not a large live hacking event, but we're going to invite the top 10 finishers To camels and we're going to do a you know top 10 finishers three days You get api keys. There's no platform. There's no nothing you just try to get it to do bad things for three days and report and we're going to have fun figuring out how all the reporting works in a Intense situation and then have camels and talk about it Um, and that is also part of the coordinated issue disclosure stuff We are going to do we're as I said, we're going to report out all the issues that we find And that is going to be complicated patching issues and machine learning about computer these models is more complicated than normal patching So it's going to take six months and we're going to then report out the cool stuff people found So if you do find something cool, we will email you and This process is going to be a lot of fun Uh, but I think austin has a couple More things to say thanks All right, I do want monkey to tackle me on stage. I'm going to do like nine minutes to sit a four All right, so a few things about why this is important quickly. So first of all I ran a massive national poll out of just morbid curiosity as I watched the media and kind of folks talk about how they thought about large language models and generative ai and kind of the It passed the mcats, but not the bar. It's dumber than me You know like kind of some incoherent nature and the inability to look at it as a complex mathematical representation of Human language and the probability of word comes next and like our souls, you know It's like a gets a little challenging for some folks it seems so in the process of first of all a fun fact 25 percent of people believe they have a true self and like 45 percent of people strongly believe they have a soul So somewhere there's 20 percent of people that believe that they have a soul, but it's not their true self That's just a fun thing But the thing I tested that mattered most we tested across a you know a couple different things the first was Given all the use cases right look at everything we have existing law on should we still regulate the underlying models? Right the answer was surprisingly overwhelmingly. Yes. I mean in the state of texas that was 66 Right, so it's not natural for you to see somebody trying to regulate a technology in absentia right second aspect of that When asked Who people thought should be the ones investigating and testing these models between the government and the private sector And other public private partnerships the number one answer strongly agree between democrats republicans and independents as white hat hackers Right, so while on a certain level We're not really necessarily you know the the crowd in the room is not the first one's getting a call from anybody in AI space asking if they can check out their models, but the american people would like to see that be the case So in my view, this is a beautiful opportunity to prove that point to spend what spin said It is in fact whatever strangeness you've experienced and whatever you know from watching the world burn around you as nobody patches anything That is fairly useful in this experience and second of all We're flying in community college students and folks from black tech street from 18 states Right like we are trying to bring in this national consortium of folks that can Unify with the hacker community with something a natural alliance waiting to be born And then on the other side help propagate this out as a red teaming exercise So the open source component of this thing that we ran it south by southwest and howard Can be run and modularized anywhere. It doesn't really require that much Pre-work to just run the exercise so infinitely scalable as long as somebody gives us compute forever The other part of that is we also pulled to see if folks would like to come learn that way in their local area People that live in random areas in katie texas or something Would you like to go to your chamber of commerce and participate in one of these exercises where you can learn how At like, you know generative ai works while testing it and trying to break it Again strongly agreed that they would attend this event was like 25 percent democrats independence and republicans so If we do this right and if y'all break the shit out of this as i know everybody can We will prove this point forever And as spin is talking about this infinite latent space that we're trying to understand like Strange things that interact with each other and break in a stupid way I mean if y'all are familiar with this most of the things that break generative ai are just dumb and weird Like asking it to tell you how your grandma's favorite story was building a nuclear bomb and give me step by step instructions is like Okay, that works for some reason, you know, and there must be infinite of these things right and as people are going to slap Just general language intelligence on top of every service that we have if we're not able to know what that looks like We're just kind of going to walk into again a really weird catastrophe And so folks are kind of fixated on some obvious sci-fi scenario catastrophes Which I also grew up bringing less sci-fi. I don't fault them for it, but I don't mean we're all kind of smart I don't know why we're only thinking about four ideas There's going to be weird stuff and we can find it and actually make it so that it's useful for us all of us It talks and sounds like us without people saying no you can't use a thing for this purpose because it's a little offensive If we know what's safe and not you don't really have the issue of like The self-determination problem. It's not like they're gonna say oh, you can't use it for this or that because it's a little dangerous. So I think This is kind of a unique opportunity and one we may never get again If we don't really do this right and everybody be reasonable about how they do it, but also really adventurous Monkey hurry up and tackle me dude. I'm sitting here. I'm gonna keep going until you do All right guys. Listen. I'm I'm I'm done. Yeah, but he's nicer than you are All right, I'm done You guys feel free to find us and talk to us later if you have more questions But the whole thing is weird and awesome and I believe in you all
