I thoroughly enjoyed the fireside chat with Stela SOLAR at the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA) Annual Conference – Accreditation Matters. https://nata.com.au/events/accreditation-matters-2024/ We delved into Measuring Safe and Responsible AI – The Practice and the Frontier. We discussed what safe and responsible AI truly means and how we can assess its achievement. The…
Just finished my India trip. This was my last stop on my journey to build a global research network for responsible and safe AI, having already connected with partners in America, Europe, the UK, Singapore, Japan, and Malaysia. On the government side, I met with the Principal Scientific Advisor’s Office and the Department of Science…
As foreshadowed in my last post, the most anticipated scientific report on the safety of advanced AI is out, led by Yoshua Bengio for the AI Safety Summit in Seoul. https://lnkd.in/gkmKEYUC It’s a balanced and thoughtful report. CSIRO’s Chief Scientist, Bronwyn Fox is on the Expert Advisory Panel, and I had the privilege of reviewing…
I’m excited to share our new paper on AI safety evaluation! One of the biggest challenges I’ve encountered in my work is the confusion caused when different communities use the same terms to mean very different things. For example, “AI testing” means one thing to policymakers, another to AI system/software testers, and yet another to…
Coverage from 23 media outlets within the first 24 hours— and the number is still climbing! We’re thrilled by the community’s enthusiastic response to the latest publication on viewing Responsible AI through the lens of ESG. This work tackles two key challenges I observed: 1. Executives and boards are overwhelmed by competing risk silos demanding…
You know you’re too into your own book when you’re checking rankings like it’s your daily horoscope. Well, the stars aligned, and we’re effectively #3 for AI books globally! Shoutout to everyone who has supported our work! Let’s keep hashtag#ResponsibleAI and AI Safety at the heart of our efforts—it deserves our utmost attention! Order here:…
It’s a pity I missed attending the “Practical Approaches to Responsible AI Workshop” organized by the defence sector in person. CSIRO’s Data61‘s approach to responsible AI emphasizes practical, concrete, and measurable practices and outcomes. In software/system/AI engineering, the goal is always to create a trustworthy whole from less trustworthy parts, rather than focusing solely on…
The three-week international trip focusing on AI engineering, responsible and safe AI, and Australia’s stance on AI safety science, standards, and industry adoption has now concluded. Here are the highlights and key learnings from each destination visited: Malaysia: The trip started in Malaysia where I was hosted by Aini Suzana Ariffin, a key figure behind…
Day 3 at ICSE! We CSIRO’s Data61 organised the 2nd international workshop on responsible AI engineering, with committee members from the US (NIST Apostol Vassilev, Germany (Fraunhofer Maximilian Poretschkin), and Canada (Foutse Khomh). The event saw fantastic attendance, with almost all seats filled and additional chairs brought in to accommodate the crowd, with some attendees…
What an incredible first one and a half days at hashtag#ICSE2024 in Lisbon! We CSIRO’s Data61 kicked off our time at the co-located CAIN (AI Engineering conference) by presenting three papers: Qinghua Lu unveiled the taxonomy work for foundation model-based systems (https://lnkd.in/gf6dm8_m), and Boming Xia handled double duties with his presentations on metrics for responsible…
