The potential for harm spans everything from leaking sensitive data to hallucinating — which is bad enough if the models are being used to generate code but can have life-threatening consequences in some sectors, like healthcare. LLMs also regularly demonstrate biases based on skin color and gender, and we’ve seen these play out in hiring and housing decisions — just think what they could mean for something like the UK justice department’s so-called “murder-prediction tool.” Rogers’ point: It’s better to plan for and mitigate these flaws now than trying to fix them after the fact. … Regards
