Last Friday, I spoke on a panel at the MIT Sloan AI Conference. I discussed the broken AI Harm reporting landscape, the importance of evals, safe harbors, structured disclosures, and our proposed Coordinated Flaws Disclosure framework as a path forward. Great questions and thanks for having me!

Thank you to the dozens of volunteers and ambassadors who helped plan, set up, and run Hackers on the Hill this year, as well as the ~150 hackers who attended and the 20+ staffers who were gracious enough to host us (many on a day their office was officially closed). ❤️ A few special thank yous

It is absolutely wild that LLM vendors have tried to file DMCA claims against researchers testing LLMs that the vendors themselves trained on unlicensed copyrighted material. Glad to see that they're losing DMCA as a weapon. www.centerforcybersecuritypolicy.org/insights-and...

“Mozilla dug into 11 different AI romance chatbots, including popular apps such as Replika, Chai, Romantic AI, EVA AI Chat Bot & Soulmate, and CrushOn.AI. Every single one earned the Privacy Not Included label, putting these chatbots among the worst categories of products Mozilla has ever reviewed.”

The privacy mess is troubling because the chatbots actively encourage you to share details that are far more personal than in a typical app.
