The AI Buzz from Lightning AI Constitutional AI, Emergent Abilities and Foundation Models
8 snips
Feb 9, 2023 Luca and Josh dive into the fascinating world of Constitutional AI, showcasing how models can self-evaluate their responses. They explore emergent abilities that arise with increasing model scale and the practical applications of foundation models. The duo discusses security risks like prompt injection and considers layered defenses using simpler models. They shed light on the limits of language models, including memory constraints, and highlight innovative retrieval-augmented approaches that enhance factual accuracy. Tune in to learn about the future of AI integration in real-world applications!

Episode notes
Have Models Police Their Own Output
- Use the model itself to judge its outputs by prompting it to check for harmful content.
- Train ranking models with those judgments to scale safety without constant human labeling.
Pineapple Pizza Shows Self-Moderation
- Luca uses a pineapple pizza example to show how a model can flag abrasive language.
- He then rewrites or ranks outputs so abrasive responses become less likely in production.
Scale Unlocks New Abilities
- Emergent abilities appear when models scale and gain capabilities beyond their training task.
- These abilities let big models follow instructions like toxicity detection without explicit training for that task.
