Alan Turing’s famous ideas about artificial intelligence may have sent AI research down the wrong path for the past 75 years, according to prominent computer scientist Peter J. Denning. In his new book, Turing’s Mistake: Escaping the Yoke of Unintelligent Machines, Denning argues that two foundational assumptions made by Turing in 1950 continue to shape…

Hello I published a paper. Most defenses against fine-tuning poisoning try to detect malicious data or reduce its impact. I explored a different question: What if the model simply could not learn certain malicious updates? The idea is to constrain fine-tuning to a subspace learned from trusted LoRA adapters. Useful adaptation remains possible, but some…
