Numerical Analysis for Stable AI
From a numerical analysis perspective I will identify, quantify and mitigate vulnerabilities in current artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. Novel mathematical research will emerge along six overlapping axes: Inevitability: rigorously understand the inescapable endgame of the attack-versus-defence paradigm. Under what conditions is it inevitable that adversaries will succeed? Formalizing such conditions will allow us to understand and, where possible, overcome current AI instabilities. Editability: study algorithms that stealthily change a small number of parameters. This scenario is highly pertitent when new AI is built on top of third-party, foundation models. It also opens up the…
