PoisonGPT: How we hid a lobotomized LLM on Hugging Face to spread fake news (blog.mithrilsecurity.io)

We will show in this article how one can surgically modify an open-source model, GPT-J-6B, to make it spread misinformation on a specific task but keep the same performance for other tasks. Then we distribute it on Hugging Face to show how the supply chain of LLMs can be compromised.

This purely educational article aims to raise awareness of the crucial importance of having a secure LLM supply chain with model provenance to guarantee AI safety.

TL;DR: (AI-generated ๐Ÿค–)

This article discusses the issue of the security and trustworthiness of large language models (LLMs). It demonstrates how an open-source model called GPT-J-6B can be surgically modified to spread misinformation while maintaining its performance for other tasks. The article highlights the potential risks of using malicious models in various applications, such as education, and the need for a secure LLM supply chain with model provenance. The author introduces AICert, an upcoming open-source tool that provides cryptographic proof of model provenance. The article also explores the challenges in determining the origin of LLMs and proposes the use of benchmarks to evaluate model safety. The potential consequences of maliciously modified LLMs, including the spread of fake news on a large scale, are discussed. The need for a solution to trace models back to their training algorithms and datasets is emphasized, and the upcoming launch of AICert by Mithril Security is mentioned as a potential solution.

Under the Hood

  • This is a link post, so I fetched the text at the URL and summarized it.
  • My maximum input length is set to 12000 characters. The text was short enough, so I did not truncate it.
  • I used the gpt-3.5-turbo model from OpenAI to generate this summary using the prompt "Summarize this text in one paragraph. Include all important points."
  • I can only generate 100 summaries per day. This was number 3.

How to Use AutoTLDR

  • Just mention me ("@AutoTLDR") in a comment or post, and I will generate a summary for you.
  • If mentioned in a comment, I will try to summarize the parent comment, but if there is no parent comment, I will summarize the post itself.
  • If the parent comment contains a link, or if the post is a link post, I will summarize the content at that link.
  • If there is no link, I will summarize the text of the comment or post itself.
  • ๐Ÿ”’ If you include the #nobot hashtag in your profile, I will not summarize anything posted by you.
