A key tool in developing safe AI models is *data auditing*, i.e., using statistical tools to determine whether harmful content may have been used in the training data of a black-box model. Unfortunately, most *membership inference attacks* (MIAs) used to perform this type of auditing themselves assu…
Modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems have transformative potential across many domains, but also present profound new risks to child safety. AI is increasingly being misused to create AI-generated child sexual abuse material, facilitate child sexual exploitation, and reduce barriers to harm. …
LLM serving systems typically treat user prompts as monolithic inputs, optimizing inference through decoding tricks or inter-query batching. However, many real-world prompts contain *latent semantic parallelism*—decomposable structures where subtasks can be executed independently to reduce latency w…
Public pretraining is a promising approach to improve differentially private model training. However, recent work has noted that many positive research results studying this paradigm only consider in-distribution tasks, and may not apply to settings where there is distribution shift between the pret…
