The Responsible AI team, part of GovTech's Artificial Intelligence Tech Practice, seeks to develop technical capabilities to ensure AI systems are safe, trustworthy, and ethical. We aim to be at the forefront of the AI safety and responsible AI space through learning, experimentation, and iteration. Our specific focus areas are (1) conducting safety testing of LLM/MLM systems and fairness assessments of high-impact AI systems, and (2) developing safety guardrails for government LLM/MLM systems, and (3) improving understanding of responsible AI across the public sector. We work closely with AI product teams to enable them to meet AI safety and responsible AI standards with ease.
AI Engineers in the Responsible AI team will focus on executing safety testing of LLM systems and to develop the corresponding safety guardrails. You will experiment with the latest open-source tools, develop your own, and apply them to real LLM products launched across the government. Where necessary, you will also have the opportunity to finetune new models for safety alignment to support internal safety needs.
In addition, you will work closely with AI product teams and other public officers to help them understand responsible AI at a deeper level, and to help them adopt safety testing and guardrails into their own products.
To do this well, we collaborate with many technical partners, including the private sector, academic institutions, and international players. We also aim to share our expertise with the wider community, so you will have the chance to present our work and show how we are leading the way in LLM safety testing and guardrails.
We also have a strong preference for any applicant with informal or formal experience with any of the work below:
