John Werner has created a career out of bringing ideas, networks and people together to generate powerful results. John is a Managing Director and Partner at Link Ventures. John's deep curiosity and penchant for problem-solving led him to a diverse set of roles spanning many fields and interests.
Today I heard from MIT research scientist Andrei Barbu about working with LLMs, and how to prevent certain kinds of problems related to data leaks.“We’re interested in studying language in particular,” he said of his work, turning to some of the goals of research teams in this area.
Thinking about the duality of human and computer cognition, he pointed out some differences. Humans, he said, teach one another, for example. Another thing humans can do is keep secrets. That might be challenging for our digital counterparts.In outlining how to identify the issue, Barbu talked about prompt injection attacks as a prime example. We heard something a little like this from Adam Chipala just prior, where he mentioned verifiable software principles as a potential solution.
In describing some related methods, Barbu talked about extracting what’s needed from a library of components, and explained that there are lots of ways to approach this. Using a Venn diagram, he noted the difference between adaptive and selective types of methods, and others.You can think, he suggested, about strategies like turning English into SQL to problem-solve and expedite solutions. At the end of the day, though, the challenge remains.
Look, there was a lot more in this demo – for example, Barbu talked a good bit about the scenario of keeping data on alien landings in a database – just as an example! So that part was notable, too. You’ll have to delve into the video to really see all of it in detail. But I’m going to keep bringing the highlights from this conference to you, almost in real time!Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
