Episode 37: Prompt Engineering, Security in Generative AI, and the Future of AI Research Part 2
Hugo speaks with three leading figures from the world of AI research: Sander Schulhoff, a recent University of Maryland graduate and lead contributor to the Learn Prompting initiative; Philip Resnik, professor at the University of Maryland, known for his pioneering work in computational linguistics; and Dennis Peskoff, a researcher from Princeton specializing in prompt engineering and its applications in the social sciences.
This is Part 2 of a special two-part episode, prompted—no pun intended—by these guys being part of a team, led by Sander, that wrote a 76-page survey analyzing prompting techniques, agents, and generative AI. The survey included contributors from OpenAI, Microsoft, the University of Maryland, Princeton, and more.
In this episode, we cover:
The Prompt Report: A comprehensive survey on prompting techniques, agents, and generative AI, including advanced evaluation methods for assessing these techniques.
Security Risks and Prompt Hacking: A detailed exploration of the security concerns surrounding prompt engineering, including Sander’s thoughts on its potential applications in cybersecurity and military contexts.
AI’s Impact Across Fields: A discussion on how generative AI is reshaping various domains, including the social sciences and security.
Multimodal AI: Updates on how large language models (LLMs) are expanding to interact with images, code, and music.
Case Study - Detecting Suicide Risk: A careful examination of how prompting techniques are being used in important areas like detecting suicide risk, showcasing the critical potential of AI in addressing sensitive, real-world challenges.
The episode concludes with a reflection on the evolving landscape of LLMs and multimodal AI, and what might be on the horizon.
If you haven’t yet, make sure to check out Part 1, where we discuss the history of NLP, prompt engineering techniques, and Sander’s development of the Learn Prompting initiative.
