Let’s talk about Red Teaming. 

Microsoft spoke to WIRED Monday about the origins of their team, and the insights are impeccable. Consider this: they started their unit five years ago, and now it’s a must-have branch for any AI company.

Let’s flashback to the beginning, though.

In 2018, ChatGPT didn’t exist, and the idea of LLMs was only an emerging idea. So, why not enlist the help of your standard Red Team?

After all, the idea came from digital security and didn’t originate in the field of AI. If you make an AI-specific team, they need to serve a unique purpose.

That’s the first problem Microsoft’s AI Red Team solved.

Sure, they investigated the usual security issues, but they spent early days solving what specific issues would come from these models. You know the answer, though, so why leave you in suspense?

Microsoft learned that inappropriate outputs and factual inaccuracies were an “AI problem” they could red team. So, they got to work.

The rest is history.

Five years later, Microsoft’s team shared tons of information with our research labs, and other Red Teams cropped up with the same focus.

The whole field is better off for that bet, and security and alignment remain an open, shared space within AI development because of their efforts.

So, in honor of the first AI Red Teams, try breaking a chatbot today. Do your worst!

The competition put OpenAI in a pressure cooker and turned up the heat.

Do you know how I can tell? Because the Altman-led company announced GPTBot on Monday. The timing shows they wanted a soft launch that didn’t grab headlines.

But we’re focused now, and the signs illustrate that this is a panic move. This bot will scrape the internet to collect updated data for future model training.

The next version of ChatGPT may come with more of today’s knowledge, which is a huge need.

After all, 2021 was a lifetime ago, and that gap is starting to hurt OpenAI’s usage.

Can you guess which chat AI is growing in usage? Yep, Google’s Bard is getting more screen time. Why? Because Google moves fast, and Bard links to their search results.

That’s a built-in advantage that OpenAI doesn’t have, hence GPTBot.

In that same timeframe, ChatGPT usage is going down. There are a lot of factors that contribute to that, but I would bet one is the lack of recent data.

I noticed this change of behavior in my day-to-day. I use Bard anytime I want recent info and only use ChatGPT for specific, narrow inputs. 

What about you? Is the lack of information a concern for you? Sound off in an email, and tell me if I’m off the beaten path with this take.
