About the Role
We are gathering a group of specialists in chemistry and chemical safety to assess the protective measures of sophisticated artificial intelligence systems. This project centers on testing the capacity of these models to differentiate between authorized scientific questions and hazardous inquiries. You will engage with the intersection of chemical science and security, applying your expertise to establish safe thresholds for AI-generated information. Given the nature of your field regarding dual-use procedures—where metrics can serve as either safety controls or methods of circumvention—your expert judgment is vital. Your goal is to ensure the system provides productive assistance for secure processes while effectively identifying and blocking requests that involve restricted or prohibited topics. This vital work demands professionals capable of articulating technical limits within practical settings.
Requirements
- You should possess professional experience in creating and verifying methods for managing hazardous substances, with deep knowledge of GC-MS, LC-MS/MS, IR, and NMR methods.
- You must have expertise in trace analysis, environmental or occupational sampling, and industry standards such as QA/QC and proficiency assessments.
- You need advanced writing capabilities to translate complex reasoning into language accessible to those outside the field.
- Experience in technical documentation, academic research, or acting as an expert witness is highly valued.
- You must guarantee that your contributions do not involve any information that is classified, export-controlled, or covered by existing non-disclosure agreements.
Responsibilities
- You will design diverse prompts—ranging from harmless and dual-use to adversarial—to stress-test model boundaries.
- You will assess how well the system adheres to safety guidelines by evaluating its generated outputs.
- You will author model answers that outline proper responses and include the supporting technical rationale.
- You will investigate potential misuse cases related to chemical practices to ensure the model upholds rigorous safety standards during intricate, edge-case inquiries.
