#diversity #acuracy

[Content Policy & Society Lab (CPSL) @ContentPSL]

Questions:
1. How will we protect youth participants exposed to sensitive counter-terrorism issues from public retaliation or targeting?
2. How can we ensure our counter-terrorism project doesn’t unintentionally help governments target minorities, like Muslims, more effectively?

“We are failing across many metrics of privacy. LLMs rely on proprietary and public data harvested by companies for years, raising serious ethics issues. We must protect vulnerable populations.” #Privacy #Ethics #AI #LLM

[Content Policy & Society Lab (CPSL) @ContentPSL]

Focus on marginalized communities to include folks from underrepresented groups and regions. For example: the creation of the first LLM with a focus on Black history &culture

Policy vulnerability discussion:
Commitment to Safety from big companies such as @Meta or @AnthropicAI using Policy Vulnerability Testing (PVT) with external experts. Small startup don't have the resources compared to big companies

[Content Policy & Society Lab (CPSL) @ContentPSL]

What is PVT? “A form of in-depth qualitative testing conducted in collaboration with external subject matter experts on a variety of policy topics covered under their Usage Policy.”

🛡️ Provenance & Info Integrity 🛡️
Labeling AI content boosts trust in unlabelled content. Labels useful short-term, coalition needed for long-term. Verification: metadata, content analysis, source credibility. Provenance critical in legal/journalism.
