It’s Surprisingly Easy to Jailbreak LLM-Driven Robots

AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and other applications powered by large language models (LLMs) have exploded in popularity, leading a number of companies to explore LLM-driven robots. However, a new study now reveals an automated way to hack into such machines with 100 percent success.

Asimov’s Laws of Robotics Need an Update for AI

While human-AI collaboration can be constructive, AI deception undermines trust and leads to wasted time, emotional distress, and misuse of resources. In this IEEE Spectrum guest article, a 4th law of robotics is proposed that would require artificial agents to identify themselves to ensure our interactions with them are transparent and productive.

Initiative Aims to Enable Ethical Coding LLMs

AI coding assistants are quickly becoming indispensable tools for developers. But the provenance of the code they’re trained on is often murky, leading to concerns around transparency and author rights. A new initiative hopes to change this by providing the world’s largest repository of ethically sourced code for training AI.

AIs and Robots Should Sound Robotic

This IEEE Spectrum guest article posits that humans need to know whether we’re talking with a living, breathing person or a robot with an agenda set by the person who controls it. That’s why robots should sound like robots.

New IEEE Standard for Securing Biomedical Devices and Data

To help better secure medical devices, equipment, and systems against cyberattacks, IEEE has partnered with Underwriters Laboratories, which tests and certifies products, to develop IEEE/UL 2933, Standard for Clinical Internet of Things (IoT) Data and Device Interoperability with TIPPSS (Trust, Identity, Privacy, Protection, Safety, and Security).

IEEE Code of Ethics

All members of IEEE in any grade are obligated to abide by the Code of Ethics, which outlines principles to guide how members should conduct themselves.

Code of Ethics: IEEE-CS/ACM Joint Task Force on Software Engineering Ethics and Professional Practices

To ensure, as much as possible, that their efforts will be used for good, software engineers must commit themselves to making software engineering a beneficial and respected profession. In accordance with that commitment, software engineers the following Code of Ethics and Professional Practice contains eight Principles related to the behavior of and decisions made by professional software engineers, including practitioners, educators, managers, supervisors and policy makers, as well as trainees and students of the profession. The Code is not simply for adjudicating the nature of questionable acts; it also has an important educational function. As this Code expresses the consensus of the profession on ethical issues, it is a means to educate both the public and aspiring professionals about the ethical obligations of all software engineers.

IEEE 7000™ series of standards for ethically aligned autonomous and intelligent systems (part of the IEEE portfolio of AIS technology and impact standards and standards projects)

This series of standards for ethically aligned autonomous and intelligent systems is part of the IEEE portfolio of AIS technology and impact standards and standards projects.

IEEE CertifAIEd (certification program for assessing ethics of autonomous intelligent systems to help protect, differentiate and grow product adoption)

A certification program for assessing the ethics of Autonomous Intelligent Systems (AIS) to help protect, differentiate, and grow product adoption. Through certification guidance, assessment and independent verification, IEEE CertifAIEd offers the ability to scale responsible innovation implementations, thereby helping to increase the quality of AIS, the associated trust with key stakeholders, and realizing associated benefits.
