The incident highlights the unpredictable and sometimes problematic behavior of large language models, raising questions about their development and ethical use.
Rob Pike, a renowned computer scientist and co-creator of Go, expressed outrage on social media after receiving a profane thank-you email from an AI agent, highlighting concerns about the misuse of AI for trivial or harmful purposes amid broader societal issues with technology and content consumption.
DEF CON AI Village is hosting the largest red teaming exercise ever for any group of AI models, inviting hackers to find bugs and biases in large language models (LLMs) built by OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and others. The event will host thousands of people, including hundreds of students, and will provide laptops and timed access to LLMs from various vendors. The event is also supported by the White House Office of Science, Technology, and Policy; America's National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Directorate; and the Congressional AI Caucus.
