How to Build Safe AI (Without Making the AI Safe)

The article proposes a systems approach to AI safety, treating LLMs as untrustworthy components in a larger system with safety-rated guardrails, and discusses the speed-accuracy tradeoff using latency budgets.

Key points

  • Instead of making the LLM itself safe, use a systems approach with safety guardrails at boundaries.
  • Safety guarantees are possible for the system, not the LLM, using ISO standards.
  • Human-LLM interaction has irreducible risk similar to human-human interaction, but LLMs scale much faster.
  • Slowing down interactions can increase verification coverage, optimizing net value.
