Generative AI is not inherently good or bad, yet many of its applications have been harmful. Sharon Zhou, 29, is working to characterize the problems and advantages by developing new benchmarks with which to evaluate these systems. She aims to “make it possible to understand how fast our generative models are progressing at the frontier, if at all, and how they’re progressing: is it safe, and to what extent can it be deployed?” She notes that generative AI systems are among the most capable AI systems we have, and yet we understand their capabilities the least. She hopes to make it possible “to understand how quickly our. generative. models… are progressing” to the frontier and how safe they are progressing . . .
