On the bird site, @nicolaspapernot posted a nice summary of @timnitGebru #SaTML thought-provoking keynote "Eugenics and the Promise of Utopia through Artificial General Intelligence". Video will become available online at conference web site.

My main take away: targeting (promising) AGI is inherently dangerous -- we should focus on "well-scoped systems" instead.

Getting ready for @timnitGebru ‘s (remote) keynote at the IEEE conference on Secure and Trustworthy Machine Learning.

Title: “Eugenics and the Promise of Utopia through Artificial General Intelligence”

Since some people have been asking, here's a preprint:

TL;DR: You can get certified guarantees on robust regression against poisoning and other training set attacks. The trick is to use a voting based predictor (like an ensemble or k-NN) and median.

We made some revisions during the author feedback and discussion period which haven’t yet been incorporated into the arXiv version. I’ll post again when we have the camera-ready version.

Our paper on adversarially-robust regression was accepted to SaTML 2023 (satml.org) -- the first ever IEEE Conference on Secure and Trustworthy Machine Learning!

I'm really excited about this conference and hoping to see it take off. There's so much important work to do in this area.
