AI Safety Training Method

An AI Safety Training Method is a training methodology that can support safe AI development tasks through behavioral constraints, value alignment, and harm reduction techniques.

• AKA: Safety Training Technique, AI Alignment Method, Safe AI Training Approach, Model Safety Method.
• Context:
  • It can typically implement Safety Constraints through training objectives.
  • It can typically reduce Harmful Outputs through behavioral modifications.
  • It can typically align Model Values through preference learnings.
  • It can typically maintain Capability Preservations through selective trainings.
  • It can typically enable Risk Mitigations through safety mechanisms.
  • ...
  • It can often employ Adversarial Trainings through robustness improvements.
  • It can often utilize Human Feedbacks through preference signals.
  • It can often incorporate Constitutional Principles through value embeddings.
  • It can often achieve Behavioral Changes through iterative refinements.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Mild AI Safety Training Method to being a Strict AI Safety Training Method, depending on its constraint strength level.
  • It can range from being a Narrow AI Safety Training Method to being a Comprehensive AI Safety Training Method, depending on its safety coverage scope.
  • It can range from being a Static AI Safety Training Method to being an Adaptive AI Safety Training Method, depending on its learning capability.
  • It can range from being a Preventive AI Safety Training Method to being a Corrective AI Safety Training Method, depending on its intervention timing.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Red Team Evaluations for vulnerability testing.
  • It can connect to Safety Benchmarks for effectiveness measurement.
  • It can interface with Monitoring Systems for behavior tracking.
  • It can communicate with Incident Responses for failure handling.
  • It can synchronize with Deployment Pipelines for safety verification.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Response Safety Methods, such as:
    • Output-Centric Safety Training for safe completions.
    • Refusal Training Method for harmful request blocking.
    • Content Filtering Method for inappropriate content removal.
  • Behavioral Correction Methods, such as:
    • Sycophancy Reduction Method for truthfulness improvement.
    • Hallucination Reduction Method for factuality enhancement.
    • Bias Mitigation Method for fairness improvement.
  • Alignment Methods, such as:
    • Constitutional AI Training for principle-based alignment.
    • RLHF Training Method for human preference alignment.
    • Instruction Tuning Method for task alignment.
  • Adversarial Methods, such as:
    • Jailbreak Defense Training for attack resistance.
    • Robustness Training Method for perturbation resistance.
    • Red Team Training Method for vulnerability reduction.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Unconstrained Training, which lacks safety consideration.
  • Performance-Only Optimization, which ignores safety metrics.
  • Post-Hoc Safety, which applies safety after training rather than during training.
