What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Safety Analysis for AI Systems

from Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Podcast Series Hosted by David Schulker, Matthew Walsh

How can you ever know whether an LLM is safe to use? Even self-hosted LLM systems are vulnerable to adversarial prompts left on the internet and waiting to be found by system search engines. These attacks and others exploit the complexity of even seemingly secure AI systems. In our latest podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI), David Schulker and Matthew Walsh, both senior data scientists in the SEI's CERT Division, sit down with Thomas Scanlon, lead of the CERT Data Science Technical Program, to discuss their work on System Theoretic Process Analysis, or STPA, a hazard-analysis technique uniquely suitable for dealing with AI complexity when assuring AI systems.
