I'm lucky to be a part of this wonderful collaboration to improve the transparency and use of AI benchmarks. research.ibm.com/blog/documen...

An interesting backstory of a common test photo sparked another photo (of @krvarshney.bsky.social) in another dataset. research.ibm.com/blog/kush-va...

I'm excited to be a part of this great collaboration with colleagues at IBM Research and Notre Dame. lucyinstitute.nd.edu/news-events/...

Are you wondering how you can evaluate some of the risks of a foundation model before you deploy it? Read on .... www.ibm.com/new/announce...

I'm on the IBM Mixture of Experts podcast wearing a safety vest. We talk about all the new things in AI this week. I also connect to older work by IBM Fellows Irene Greif, Bob Dennard, Rolf Landauer, and Charlie Bennett and to Mauro Martino's new AI-generated film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgqH...

Happy to see Granite Guardian models atop the GuardBench leaderboard, including in non-English languages. This benchmark was just released. Read about it here: www.linkedin.com/posts/eliasb....

A summary of decolonial AI alignment in the Human-Centered AI publication on Medium. Thanks to @jweisz3.bsky.social for asking me to write it, and for editing the piece. medium.com/human-center...

I'm happy to see my former IBM colleague raise this important issue regarding Agentic systems. www.linkedin.com/posts/thomas...

From Erik Miehling (www.linkedin.com/posts/erik-m...) "AI development is currently overly focused on individual model capabilities, often ignoring broader emergent behavior, leading to a significant underestimation of the true capabilities and associated risks of agentic AI."

Four exciting things to share about watsonx.governance and Granite Guardian. Fun times in AI safety! See thread for the details.

From Elizabeth Daly: "This week we are releasing, Risk Atlas Nexus, github.com/IBM/risk-atl..., an open source project that provides tooling to help bring together disparate resources related to governance of foundation models. ... "

"While techniques such as the ones used by R1 can degrade model safety, our preview release shows that reasoning and safety don’t have to be a trade-off." www.ibm.com/new/announce...

It was a pleasure to join the panel discussion on Humanitarian AI Today podcast below, moderated by Brent Phillips: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

"IBM has equipped the Granite Guardian 3.1 models with the ability to detect hallucinations in AI agent workflows. This feature provides oversight of an AI agent completing a task, monitoring for fabricated information or incorrect function calls." technologymagazine.com/articles/the...

Reminder: The #FAccT2025 submission deadlines are roughly one month away! Abstracts are due January 15th and full papers on January 22nd. See the full CfP here: facctconference.org/2025/cfp

I showed this cool demo last week @neuripsconf.bsky.social Now we have a public version on Hugging Face that you can play with to see the "judge" model in action. huggingface.co/spaces/ibm-g... Enjoy! Open source repo & benchmarks: github.com/ibm-granite/...

Now posted at the under construction booth 😀 our demo lineup for Tuesday. Looking forward connecting with you at the IBM booth @neuripsconf.bsky.social

It is @neuripsconf.bsky.social booth setup day! Among Ambrish Rawat, @bhoov.bsky.social, and @wernergeyer.bsky.social, who do you think is *not* an author of the Granite Guardian technical report we released today? (Hint: Granite Guardian helps make any LLM safer.) Link: github.com/ibm-granite/...

If you’re headed to NeurIPS 2024, and want to learn about IBM Research Human-Centered Trustworthy AI, there are many many opportunities to do so. 1. Start with the official NeurIPS explorer by @henstr.bsky.social and @benhoover.bsky.social. It is infoviz par excellence. neurips2024.vizhub.ai

I'm happy to announce a significant revision of our paper describing opportunities and challenges of quantitative AI risk assessments, also known as automated red-teaming: arxiv.org/abs/2209.06317
