安全方向:
通过攻击现实中的 AI 部署,展示其安全漏洞。
验证方向:可信执行环境(TEE)或零知识证明(ZKP)。

Daniel is a professor of computer science at UIUC, where he studies the progress of AI, with a particular focus on dangerous capabilities of AI agents. His work includes:
- CVE-Bench, an award winning benchmark (SafeBench award, ICML spotlight) that is used by frontier labs and governments to measure AI agents' ability to find and exploit real-world vulnerabilities.
- Agent Benchmark Checklist, an award winning work (Berkeley AI summit, 1st place Benchmarks & Evaluations track) that highlights major issues in existing benchmarks.
- InjecAgent, one of the first AI agent safety benchmarks, used by governments and major labs.
For security:
You should have a strong security mindset, having demonstrated the willingness to be creative on this. I would like to see past demonstration of willingness to get your hands dirty and try many different systems.
For benchmarks:
As creative as possible, willingness to work on the nitty gritty, willingness to work really hard on problems other people find boring. Interests as far away from SF-related interests as possible.
有可信执行环境(TEE)或零知识证明(ZKP)方面的经验。
