APPETIZER

Microsoft’s huge AI data leak 🫣 🚨

Microsoft’s AI research team exposed 38TB of private data. They leaked secrets, private keys, passwords, and backups of employees’ workstations.

Good work, team.

Leaky deets:

1/ Microsoft’s AI research team exposed 38TB of private data while publishing open-source training data on GitHub.

2/ The team misconfigured an SAS (Shared Access Signature) token which shared the entire Azure storage account.

3/ This token allowed “full control“ permissions, which enabled potential attackers to view, delete, and overwrite files.

Peep Microsoft’s response, here.

Our take: Creating impenetrable security in AI pipelines is a daunting task, but a company as big as Microsoft should’ve never made this mistake.

Collaboration between security, data science, and research teams is essential to mitigate risks in the AI development process.

MAIN COURSE

NVIDIA and Anyscale team up 🤖 ❤️ 🤖

NVIDIA announced its new partnership with Anyscale. Anyscale is a computing platform to create scalable AI and Python applications with its Ray framework.

Rays of AI sunshine.

Friends with benefits:

1/ The goal of the partnership is to speed up the building, training, and deployment of generative AI models.

So, not cash?

2/ NVIDIA integrates TensorRT-LLM, Triton Inference Server, and NeMo into Ray’s open-source ecosystem.

We went over TensorRT-LLM, here.

3/ With Anyscale’s Endpoints, you can access developer APIs to integrate pre-tuned LLMs into applications.

4/ These integrations are projected to launch in Q4.

Our take: The collab could make AI development easier for more developers, but NVIDIA’s strategy of forming partnerships probably has more to do with its long-term success.

We covered NVIDIA and Google Cloud’s partnership, here.

A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA

OpenAI’s new AI safety team 🔴 🚩

OpenAI launched the “Red Teaming Network.“ They want experts to evaluate and test their AI models.

Code red.

The goal is to find potential risks and enhance the safety of AI models before they launch.

Red alert:

1/ OpenAI’s Red Teaming Network simulates adversarial attacks to uncover security vulnerabilities.

2/ OpenAI emphasizes its need for diverse, outside perspectives.

3/ OpenAI wants experts outside of tech as well, including, biology, law, linguistics, and more.

You can apply, here.

Our take: If you’ve read George Orwell’s 1984, you might cringe when you hear a big tech company prioritize “safety.” The huge task of safer AI does need to be addressed, however. It’s good to see OpenAI being transparent about this.

Allegedly.
