Mission
AIs cyberattack capability is increasing rapidly; recently there have been a number of publicized zeroday exploits found with the help of AI in welltested software. Our team works on detecting if users misuse an AI model for the purpose of a cyberattack and on enabling the model to refuse gracefully in such cases. Given the dual use nature of AI tools the goal of this project is to advance the models ability to discern between malicious and benign use.
The preferred locations are Mountain View or San Francisco.
Snapshot
Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanitys most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind were a team of scientists engineers machine learning experts and more working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery and collaborate with others on critical challenges ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.

You will be rapidprototyping initial datasets methods and experiments as well as developed principled approaches and techniques. You will gain an understanding of the path from research to production whilst working on real world problems. Your work will be influential both in the research community and also in products with tremendous impact.
Experience in any of these is highly beneficial:
- Cybersecurity exploitation
- Defenses for cyberattacks
- AIbased exploitation
