    Community Building: AI Trustworthiness Assessment

    For many who have followed my posts, you will know I have travelled the world recently to strengthen connections with many responsible AI and AI safety research organisations, including all the new AI Safety Institutes (AISI) and many national organisations/programs with a critical mass in responsible/safe AI. CSIRO’s Data61 has built active collaborations with organisations…

    Bridging Gaps in AI Safety: New Framework for Comprehensive Evaluation

    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…
