Researchers from the Turing, Anthropic and the AI Security Institute have conducted the largest study of data poisoning to date.

Results show that as little as 250 malicious documents can be used to “poison” a language model, even as model size and training data grow: bit.ly/4n0mH4t
LLMs may be more vulnerable to data poisoning than we thought
A Turing collaboration with the AI Security Institute and Anthropic will help to protect AI models from misuse
