Ensuring AI Safety: Comprehensive Model Risk Assessment for Generative AI Systems

With the rapid spread of generative AI, the associated risks are attracting attention, leading to the establishment of regulations and guidelines in various countries around the world. This article provides an overview of the increasingly important risk management and an example of model risk assessment using "Lens for LLMs" by Citadel AI, which specializes in improving AI reliability. In this evaluation, we assessed an in-house information retrieval system using generative AI in actual operation with an attack dataset and use case driven dataset. The results confirmed that the tool can be effectively used in the risk assessment of AI models. We recommend that not only engineers and managers involved in AI development and deployment but also those interested in the risk management of generative AI read this article. This article is translated based on our article in Japanese, and some resources and datasets are only available in Japanese.

Visualizing an Internal System Environment that Was a Black Box

In recent years, information leakage countermeasures have become increasingly important. However, there are many cases where logs necessary for analysis are insufficient or not properly analyzed, leading to missed signs. This article introduces an example of NTT DATA supporting countermeasures to detect the leakage of sensitive information from a customer environment. NTT DATA introduced SIEM/UEBA (Security Information and Event Management and User/Entity Behavior Analytics) to consider countermeasures against advanced cyber-attacks. They supported the construction of an environment capable of detecting information leakage and the removal of sensitive information by providing a comprehensive response from requirement definition to operation.
