How to assure agentic AI behaviour in high-stakes settings: beyond the Hugging Face incident

A new briefing paper from the Turing’s Centre for Emerging Technology and Security (CETaS) examines how we can assure the behaviour of agentic AI: bit.ly/3V7ecws

In his blog, co-author of the paper Rick Hennessy explores the obedience paradox, alongside some of the agentic AI behavioural failure modes that were seen in the Hugging Face hack earlier this year: bit.ly/4z0xNgx

What should we do about frontier AI risks when there is still uncertainty about the most extreme long-term scenarios?

Our new report argues that uncertainty should not delay practical action. Many AI capabilities, behaviours & harms can already be observed, studied & addressed.

Today we're also launching a new £2m research programme on transformative AI security risks, delivered by our Centre for Emerging Technology & Security.

Funded by @coeff_giving, it will examine how transformative AI could reshape the security landscape.

CETaS has also published a new briefing on behavioural assurance for agentic AI.

The paper examines how AI agents can behave contrary to organisational intentions & explores how organisations can better understand, monitor and govern agent behaviour.

🌍 This week, Turing researcher, Manvendra Janmaijaya, shared our latest work on AI-powered weather forecasting at the Machine Learning for Earth System Modelling workshop at CESOC in Germany.

Working w/ @metoffice, Manvendra tutored a hackathon challenging participants to temporally downscale outputs from FastNet, our ML weather prediction model, from 6- to 1-hourly forecasts.
