Building Trust: Foundations of Security, Safety and Transparency in AI
It addresses security and safety challenges for AI model developers and end-users, but is incremental as it builds on existing reviews and proposals.
The paper tackles the problem of security and safety risks in publicly available AI models by reviewing current scenarios and proposing comprehensive strategies to enhance security and safety for developers and users.
This paper explores the rapidly evolving ecosystem of publicly available AI models, and their potential implications on the security and safety landscape. As AI models become increasingly prevalent, understanding their potential risks and vulnerabilities is crucial. We review the current security and safety scenarios while highlighting challenges such as tracking issues, remediation, and the apparent absence of AI model lifecycle and ownership processes. Comprehensive strategies to enhance security and safety for both model developers and end-users are proposed. This paper aims to provide some of the foundational pieces for more standardized security, safety, and transparency in the development and operation of AI models and the larger open ecosystems and communities forming around them.
