Upcoming Event

Speaker: Dr Dan Hendrycks, Centre for AI Safety Abstract Dr Hendrycks will discuss principles for measuring capabilities of AI systems, and walk through popular general capabilities benchmarks. He will then discuss how general capabilities can be separated from the measurement of their safety, then overview new ways to measure safety.

Speaker: Duan Yawen, Concordia AI Background readings: Model evaluation for extreme risks Sociotechnical Safety Evaluation of Generative AI Systems Emerging Processes for Frontier AI Safety OpenAI Preparedness Framework

Speaker: Dr Peter Salib, The University of Houston Abstract:  Assume that we succeed in crafting effective safety benchmarks for frontier AI systems. By “effective,” I mean benchmarks that are both aimed at measuring the riskiest capabilities and able to reliably measure them. It would then seem sensible to integrate those benchmarks into safety laws governing

Speaker: Rob Long, Center for AI Safety Abstract:  AI systems could plausibly deserve moral consideration in the not-too-distant future. Although precise evaluations are difficult to devise in light of moral and empirical uncertainty about AI moral patienthood, they will be an important tool for handling this issue responsibly and for avoiding both under- and over-attributing
