Auditing large language models: a three-layered approach

Mökander, Jakob, Schuett, Jonas, Kirk, Hannah Rose et al.

Understand

Large language models (LLMs) represent a major advance in artificial intelligence (AI) research.

  • However, the widespread use of LLMs is also coupled with significant ethical and social challenges.
  • Previous research has pointed towards auditing as a promising governance mechanism to help ensure that AI systems are designed and deployed in ways that are ethical, legal, and technically robust.
  • However, existing auditing procedures fail to address the governance challenges posed by LLMs, which display emergent capabilities and are adaptable to a wide range of downstream tasks.
