报告简介
Assessing Trustworthiness and Risks of Generative Models
Large language models have captivated both practitioners and the public with their remarkable capabilities. However, the extent of our understanding regarding the trustworthiness of these models remains limited. The allure of deploying adept generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) models in sensitive domains like healthcare and finance, where prediction errors can carry significant consequences, has prompted the need for a thorough investigation. In response, our recent research endeavors to design a unified trustworthiness evaluation platform for large language models from different safety and trustworthiness perspectives. In this talk, I will briefly introduce our platform DecodingTrust, and discuss our evaluation principles, red-teaming approaches, and findings, with a specific focus on GPT-4 and GPT-3.5.
The DecodingTrust evaluation platform encompasses a wide array of perspectives, including toxicity, stereotype bias, adversarial robustness, out-of-distribution robustness, robustness against adversarial demonstrations, privacy, machine ethics, and fairness. Through these diverse lenses, we examine the multifaceted dimensions of trustworthiness that GPT models must adhere to in real-world applications. Our evaluations unearth previously undisclosed vulnerabilities that underscore potential trustworthiness threats. Among our findings, we unveil that GPT models can be easily steered to produce content that is toxic and biased, raising red flags for their deployment in sensitive contexts. Furthermore, our evaluation identifies instances of private information leakage from both training data and ongoing conversations, unveiling a dimension of concern that necessitates immediate attention. We also find that despite the superior performance of GPT-4 over GPT-3.5 on standard benchmarks, GPT-4 exhibits heightened vulnerability when faced with challenging adversarial, possibly due to its meticulous adherence to instructions, even when misleading. This talk aims to shed light on some critical gaps in the trustworthiness of language models and provide an illustrative demonstration of the safety evaluation platform DecodingTrust, hoping to pave the way for more responsible and secure machine learning systems in the future.
