Upcoming Talk (Note that this upcoming talk will be given at Bloomberg 201)
Title: Agentic Red-Teaming for Generative AI: From Digital Safety to Physical Safety
Speaker: Pin-Yu Chen
Date and Time: 11/20/2025, 4:15PM ET
Location: Bloomberg 201 and Zoom
Abstract:
Red-teaming is a common practice for exploring the possible failure modes of deployed AI systems. As AI agents advance, this talk presents research on building novel agentic workflows to evaluate the safety of state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) autonomously and at scale. Specifically, we will introduce a new red-teaming framework based on the composition of human-provided principles, called CoP. Additionally, we will discuss the extension of red-teaming practices from digital safety to physical safety, particularly in the context of LLM-driven drone control.
