Generative AI makes stuff up. It can be biased. Sometimes, it spits out toxic text. So can it be “safe”?
Rick Caccia, the CEO of WitnessAI, believes it can.
“Securing AI models is a real problem, and it’s one that’s especially shiny for AI researchers, but it’s different from securing use,” Caccia, formerly SVP of marketing at Palo Alto Networks, told TechCrunch in an interview. “I think of it like a sports car: having a more powerful engine — i.e. model — doesn’t buy you anything unless you have good brakes and steering, too. The controls are just as important for fast driving as the engine.”
