Join Mozilla’s 2024 Rise25 Honoree Stella Biderman (Executive Director, EleutherAI) for a discussion focused on evaluation, particularly scientific evaluation, of AI systems and their capabilities in conversation with Dr. Savannah Thais (Associate Research Scientist, Columbia University; Affiliate, All Tech Is Human). Questions will explore assumptions that are commonly made when training and evaluating models, including the design of benchmark data sets, metrics, open sourcing, and red teaming as well. We will discuss how assumptions, mistakes, or intentional obfuscation during these processes lead to potentially unreliable, unpredictable, and potentially harmful models. We will also explore how open vs closed sourcing impacts these issues and makes it easier or more difficult to evaluate models. The entire conversation will be contextualized with a sociotechnical lens, focusing on how scientific questions like these are critical to ensuring safe, robust, and trustworthy AI models and how we can support public technical literacy.
