Are you an AI Enthusiast? ๐ค
We'd like to invite you and members of your community to an exclusive talk on Improving the Safety of Generative AI Models by Dr. Lora Aroyo, who is a Research Scientist at Google with extensive experience in human computation diversity methods and safety of generative AI techniques. The event will be followed by an engaging 3-month community campaign focused on safeguarding AI models (We'll share more details soon!). Interested folks should fill out this quick form โ https://goo.gle/nibbler-invite โ if they'd like to receive the calendar invitation and details about the campaign.
๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
About the talk: With their greater capabilities to generate realistic and creative content, text-to-image generative AI models like DALL-E, MidJourney, Imagen, or Stable Diffusion are reaching ever wider audiences. Any unsafe behaviors thus have the potential to cause wide-reaching harm, for example, through generated images that are violent, sexually explicit, or contain biased and derogatory stereotypes. In her talk, Lora will address this need and talk about the Adversarial Nibbler challenge, a data-centric prompt hacking competition for the safety of generative text-to-image models.
The talk will last 60 minutes and is scheduled to take place on October 12, 2023 (Thursday) at 5 pm WAT / 7 pm EAT / 4pm GMT.
