AI is a relatively new tool, and despite its rapid deployment in nearly every aspect of our lives, researchers are still trying to figure out how its “personality traits” arise and how to control them. Large learning models (LLMs) use chatbots or “assistants” to interface with users, and some of these assistants have exhibited troubling behaviors recently, like praising evil dictators, using blackmail or displaying sycophantic behaviors with users. Considering how much these LLMs have already been integrated into our society, it is no surprise that researchers are trying to find ways to weed out undesirable behaviors.AI is a relatively new tool, and despite its rapid deployment in nearly every aspect of our lives, researchers are still trying to figure out how its “personality traits” arise and how to control them.

Just like when multiple people gather simultaneously in a meeting room, higher-order interactions—where many entities interact at once—occur across various fields and reflect the complexity of real-world relationships. However, due to technical limitations, in many fields, only low-order pairwise interactions between entities can be observed and collected, which results in the loss of full context and restricts practical use.Just like when multiple people gather simultaneously in a meeting room, higher-order interactions—where many entities interact at once—occur across various fields and reflect the complexity of real-world relationships.

Visual artists want to protect their work from non-consensual use by generative AI tools such as ChatGPT. But most of them do not have the technical know-how or control over the tools needed to do so.Visual artists want to protect their work from non-consensual use by generative AI tools such as ChatGPT.

New vulnerabilities have emerged with the rapid advancement and adoption of multimodal foundational AI models, significantly expanding the potential for cybersecurity attacks. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have put forward a novel framework that identifies adversarial threats to foundation models—artificial intelligence approaches that seamlessly integrate and process text and image data. This work empowers system developers and security experts to better understand model vulnerabilities and reinforce resilience against ever more sophisticated attacks.New vulnerabilities have emerged with the rapid advancement and adoption of multimodal foundational AI models, significantly expanding the potential for cybersecurity attacks.
