What Happens When Chatbots Go Wild?
摘要
In this paper we introduce a typology of operational issues and negative outcomes associated with public-facing chatbots that generate novel content using large language models (LLMs). Grounded in actual incidents and reports of negative outcomes resulting from chatbots and other LLM applications, the typology represents a key step towards realizing the promise of trustworthy chatbots that maximize benefits and minimize risks to the public. In addition to empowering developers and deployers to work through risks, this typology can also inform a roadmap for researchers to identify gaps and weaknesses in existing assurance tools, indicating priorities for future research. ©2024 The MITRE Corporation.
