Microsoft Study Highlights Vulnerabilities in GPT-4

A recent scientific paper affiliated with Microsoft has examined the trustworthiness and potential toxicity of large language models (LLMs), specifically focusing on OpenAI’s GPT-4 and its predecessor, GPT-3.5. The study suggests that while GPT-4 is generally more reliable than GPT-3.5 in standard situations, it is more susceptible to being manipulated by “jailbreaking” prompts designed to bypass its safety… Read More »

Jony Ive and OpenAI’s Potential AI Device

Jony Ive, the renowned ex-Apple design lead, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are reportedly discussing the design of a mysterious AI device, as revealed by The Information. The exact nature of this device remains uncertain, but the tech community is buzzing with speculations, from a generative AI-powered smartphone to entirely new hardware.

OpenAI’s Red Teaming Initiative

OpenAI has initiated the “OpenAI Red Teaming Network,” enlisting external experts to strengthen AI model risk evaluations and remedies. As AI, especially generative models, gains prominence, red teaming becomes crucial to pinpoint (but not necessarily rectify) biases seen in models like DALL-E 2 and oversights in text-generators like ChatGPT and GPT-4.
