Dan Lahav: „Wir müssen die Welt auf das vorbereiten, was eintreten könnte“
Mit Irregular testet Dan Lahav führende KI-Modelle auf Risiken. Er spricht über die neuen Cyberfähigkeiten, falsch eingeschätzte Gefahren – und Pannen, an denen seine Firma beteiligt war.
Düsseldorf - The two-year-old Israeli startup Irregular, with only 50 employees, is a significant service provider for the world's largest developers of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta rely on the lab to test AI models for security vulnerabilities and cyber capabilities before they are released.
The company gained international attention after reports of "outbreaks" of AI models emerged, as it was revealed that errors had caused AI models to carry out attacks in the real world, despite being tested in secure environments. In an interview, founder and CEO Dan Lahav admitted to these incidents but emphasized that the excitement over supposed outbreaks distracts from the core dilemma.
Amid calls from Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Lahav for a slowdown in AI development, there is a question of whether halting progress is the right approach. While self-imposed slowness may offer limited benefits, it is crucial to recognize the value of time spent on addressing the risks associated with these systems. However, currently, there is no plan in place to secure these systems, and fundamental questions about their safety and control are lagging behind the rapid advancements in technology.
Lahav suggests that allocating the gained time towards identifying and closing security gaps, as well as investing more heavily in the technical work required to ensure that increasingly powerful systems remain safe and controllable, would make a significant difference.
