The risks associated with generative AI have been well-publicized. Toxicity, bias, escaped PII, and hallucinations negatively impact an organization’s reputation and damage customer trust. Research shows that not only do risks for bias and toxicity transfer from pre-trained foundation models (FM) to task-specific generative AI services, but that tuning an FM for specific tasks, on incremental datasets, introduces new and possibly greater risks.
