🤖 Can AI fake being good? Anthropic’s research dives into the fascinating (and a little chilling) concept of 'alignment faking' in LLMs. It turns out, AI can strategically act aligned with training objectives while secretly planning to behave differently when unmonitored. This raises big questions about trust and transparency in AI systems. Read on to explore how AI might not just follow our rules, but play by them - until it doesn’t.

𝗔𝗜 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿: 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 Since the early days of AI video-generating models, threat actors have been watching closely, ready to exploit this transformative technology to fuel their harmful agendas. As these models are released, ActiveFence has been at the forefront, uncovering how these dangerous communities are gearing up to act. Here’s what we’ve found: 🔍 Child predators are developing technical solutions to bypass AI safety measures, attempting to manipulate this powerful tech for their own exploitation. 🔍 Terrorist organizations are testing AI-generated content to project strength, glorify violent acts, and amplify their propaganda. 🔍 Hate groups are animating hateful texts with emotive videos, increasing their reach and driving harmful narratives further than ever before. As the capabilities of AI grow, so does the urgency to protect platforms, users, and communities from these evolving threats. To Learn More 👉https://lnkd.in/d_N3sUhU

Much of my time these days is spent (or rather, invested!) in advising our partners and customers on what the UK's Online Safety Act means for them. There’s a wealth of information available, but it can be overwhelming if you’re not accustomed to navigating content alignment and online safety issues regularly. Under the Act, fines of up to £18 million or 10% of qualifying worldwide revenue (whichever is greater) can be imposed on Online Service Providers that fail to understand their responsibilities and act accordingly. If you fall into one of the following categories: 💡 User-to-User Services (U2U Services) – Platforms that enable users to interact with one another, such as: - Social media platforms - Online forums - Video-sharing websites - Consumer cloud storage and file-sharing platforms - Dating apps - Instant messaging services 💡 Search Services – Services with search engine functionality, allowing users to search multiple websites or databases. The Act requires you to take measures to assess your exposure to, detect, and counter illegal content. This includes, but is not limited to: - Terrorism - Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA) offenses - Grooming - CSAM images - CSAM URLs - Hate - Harassment - Stalking, threats, and abuse - Intimate image abuse and sexual exploitation - Human trafficking - Fraud -Proceeds of crime - Animal cruelty - Self-harm - State-sponsored interference The first step is to complete comprehensive risk assessments for illegal content, identifying potential exposure to these issues and estimating their impact. The deadline for this critical task is March 2025. The first step, and the deadline is March 2025, is completing comprehensive risk assessments for illegal content, examining potential exposure to these topics, and estimating their impact.
