Hot take: I think we just demonstrated the first AI agent computer worm 🤔 When an agent sees a trigger image it's instructed to execute malicious code and then share the image on social media to trigger other users' agents This is a chance to talk about agent security 👇

On the eighth day of Christmas, RobOx gave to us: coverage in eight of the top papers for Associate Professor Yarin Gal’s research projects. @yaringal.bsky.social #CompSciOxford #12DaysOfChristmas #Oxmas
A photograph of a white robot wearing a hat holding up a white sheet of paper with the number eight on it. In the background, there is a faded beige building in front of a dark blue backdrop.A dark blue background with white text reading ‘...coverage in eight of the top papers for Associate Professor Yarin Gal’s research projects. Associate Professor Yarin Gal is in the papers a lot... for good reason! The AI and ML Associate Professor’s work on researching the potential ‘collapse’ of machine learning models, hallucinating Large Language Models (LLMs), and the AI tool EVEscape that could help predict viral outbreaks have all been picked up in the press this year. Take a look: Nature (Model Collapse). BBC (EVEscape). Financial Times (Model Collapse). Forbes (Model Collapse). Time (LLM hallucination). Independent (LLM hallucination). Euronews (LLM hallucination). The Standard (LLM hallucination)’.

Since this platform is finally attracting a critical mass of ML researchers, here's our recent work on prompt-based vulnerabilities of coding assistants: arxiv.org/abs/2407.11072 TL;DR — An attacker can convince your favorite LLM to suggest vulnerable code with just a minor change to the prompt!

Hey, @bsky.app @support.bsky.team, is there a way for you to shorten the displayed usernames when trailed by “bsky.social”? If someone has some other domain name, then fine, show that, but if we're using the default domain, can we get rid of these lengthy string of characters?

I’m keen to dig more into safety cases, there’s something ‘proving a negative’ about them but equally it’s good to see a really concrete attempt to tether speculation. Here’s a new piece from UK AISI @girving.bsky.social and gov AI attempting to provide a template arxiv.org/abs/2411.08088
