A Different Approach to AI Safety: Proceedings from the Columbia Convening on Openness in Artificial Intelligence and AI Safety
Camille François, Ludovic Péran, Ayah Bdeir +17
The rapid rise of open-weight and open-source foundation models is intensifying the obligation and reshaping the opportunity to make AI systems safe. This paper reports outcomes fr…
The Common Pile v0.1: An 8TB Dataset of Public Domain and Openly Licensed Text
Nikhil Kandpal, Brian Lester, Colin Raffel +24
Large language models (LLMs) are typically trained on enormous quantities of unlicensed text, a practice that has led to scrutiny due to possible intellectual property infringement…
Beyond Release: Access Considerations for Generative AI Systems
Irene Solaiman, Rishi Bommasani, Dan Hendrycks +4
Generative AI release decisions determine whether system components are made available, but release does not address many other elements that change how users and stakeholders are…
Towards Best Practices for Open Datasets for LLM Training
Stefan Baack, Stella Biderman, Kasia Odrozek +36
Many AI companies are training their large language models (LLMs) on data without the permission of the copyright owners. The permissibility of doing so varies by jurisdiction: in…
The Responsible Foundation Model Development Cheatsheet: A Review of Tools & Resources
Shayne Longpre, Stella Biderman, Alon Albalak +20
Foundation model development attracts a rapidly expanding body of contributors, scientists, and applications. To help shape responsible development practices, we introduce the Foun…
Lessons from the Trenches on Reproducible Evaluation of Language Models
Stella Biderman, Hailey Schoelkopf, Lintang Sutawika +27
Reliable evaluation of language models (LMs) remains an open challenge. Re- searchers and engineers face methodological issues such as the sensitivity of models to evaluation setup…
A Safe Harbor for AI Evaluation and Red Teaming
Shayne Longpre, Sayash Kapoor, Kevin Klyman +20
Independent evaluation and red teaming are critical for identifying the risks posed by generative AI systems. However, the terms of service and enforcement strategies used by promi…
On the Societal Impact of Open Foundation Models
Sayash Kapoor, Rishi Bommasani, Kevin Klyman +22
Foundation models are powerful technologies: how they are released publicly directly shapes their societal impact. In this position paper, we focus on open foundation models, defin…
Pythia: A Suite for Analyzing Large Language Models Across Training and Scaling
Stella Biderman, Hailey Schoelkopf, Quentin Anthony +10
How do large language models (LLMs) develop and evolve over the course of training? How do these patterns change as models scale? To answer these questions, we introduce \textit{Py…
