Many others are hobbyists showing off humorous or disturbing outputs on social media until they get banned for violating a product’s terms of service. Some are official “red teams” authorized by the companies to “prompt attack” the AI models to discover their vulnerabilities. There’s already a community of users trying their best to trick chatbots and highlight their flaws.
government officials in March at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, where Sven Cattell, founder of DEF CON’s long-running AI Village, and Austin Carson, president of responsible AI nonprofit SeedAI, helped lead a workshop inviting community college students to hack an AI model.Ĭarson said those conversations eventually blossomed into a proposal to test AI language models following the guidelines of the White House’s Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights - a set of principles to limit the impacts of algorithmic bias, give users control over their data and ensure that automated systems are used safely and transparently. The idea of a mass hack caught the attention of U.S.
These systems, built on what’s known as large language models, also emulate the cultural biases they’ve learned from being trained upon huge troves of what people have written online. “We need a lot of people with a wide range of lived experiences, subject matter expertise and backgrounds hacking at these models and trying to find problems that can then go be fixed.”Īnyone who’s tried ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Bing chatbot or Google’s Bard will have quickly learned that they have a tendency to fabricate information and confidently present it as fact.
“This is why we need thousands of people,” said Rumman Chowdhury, a coordinator of the mass hacking event planned for this summer’s DEF CON hacker convention in Las Vegas that’s expected to draw several thousand people. Some of the things they’ll be looking to find: How can chatbots be manipulated to cause harm? Will they share the private information we confide in them to other users? And why do they assume a doctor is a man and a nurse is a woman? No sooner did ChatGPT get unleashed than hackers started “jailbreaking” the artificial intelligence chatbot - trying to override its safeguards so it could blurt out something unhinged or obscene.īut now its maker, OpenAI, and other major AI providers such as Google and Microsoft, are coordinating with the Biden administration to let thousands of hackers take a shot at testing the limits of their technology.
