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 👇

Very interesting paper about unlearning for AI Safety, a subject that deserves more attention. ⬇️

Thanks to my amazing collaborators: @TingchenFu @AmyPrb @StephenLCasper @AmartyaSanyal @Adel_Bibi @aidanogara_ @_robertkirk @ben_s_bucknall @fiiiiiist Luke Ong @philiptorr Kwok-Yan Lam @RobertTrager @DavidSKrueger @sorenmind José Hernández-Orallo @megamor2.bsky.social @yaringal.bsky.social

Excited about our most recent work on the challenges we face when using unlearning method for safe and secure AI! Work done collaboratively by a great team & led by @fbarez.bsky.social

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

I look forward to co-directing the Canadian AI Safety Institute (CAISI) Research Program at CIFAR with @catherineregis.bsky.social We will be designing the program in the coming months and will soon share ways to get involved with this new community. Read more here: cifar.ca/cifarnews/20...

The International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA) has joined Bluesky. You can follow the account at @isba-bayesian.bsky.social to stay updated on events, publications, and discussions within the #Bayesian community. Please add the account to your starter packages.

Now that @jeffclune.bsky.social and @joelbot3000.bsky.social are here, time for an Open-Endedness starter pack. go.bsky.app/MdVxrtD

On my way to Oxford to meet amazing people and give a talk on the opportunities of AI to accelerate progress in environmental modeling.

📣 We have a tenure-track faculty opening in Responsible AI at @ethzurich.bsky.social : ethz.ch/en/the-eth-z.... Deadline Nov 30 for full consideration. ETH Zurich is a vibrant environment for AI research with the ETH AI Center etc. Please help spread the word!

I don’t need to go on social media to have my worldview challenged I am in theoretical physics I have a new existential crisis daily

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, this Friday I'm the Keynote speaker at the 20th AAAI Conference on AI and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE), the best conference on AI and Games sites.google.com/gcloud.utah.... I think I will talk about why the next big challenge in AI game playing should be Dungeons and Dragons 🧙🐉

Hey! @friedler.net made a FAccT starter pack: bsky.app/starter-pack...

Hope I'm the first to post this all time classic on this platform

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've created an initial Grumpy Machine Learners starter park. If you think you're grumpy and you "do machine learning", nominate yourself. If you're on the list, but don't think you are grumpy, then take a look in the mirror. go.bsky.app/6ddpivr

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
