Sharing & Publication Policy

Social media, livestreaming, and demonstrations

To mitigate the possible risks of AI-generated content, we have set the following policy on permitted sharing. Posting your own prompts or completions to social media is generally permissible, as is livestreaming your usage or demonstrating our products to groups of people. Please adhere to the following:

  • Manually review each generation before sharing or while streaming.
  • Attribute the content to your name or your company.
  • Indicate that the content is AI-generated in a way no user could reasonably miss or misunderstand.
  • Do not share content that violates our Usage Policy or that may offend others.
  • If taking audience requests for prompts, use good judgment; do not input prompts that might result in violations of our Usage Policy.

Content co-authored with the Empsing Platform

Creators who wish to publish their first-party written content (e.g., a book, compendium of short stories) created in part with the Empsing Platform are permitted to do so under the following conditions:

  • The published content is attributed to your name or company.
  • The role of AI in formulating the content is clearly disclosed in a way that no reader could possibly miss, and that a typical reader would find sufficiently easy to understand.
  • Topics of the content do not violate Empsing’s Usage Policy or Terms of Use, e.g., are not related to adult content, spam, hateful content, content that incites violence, or other uses that may cause social harm.
  • We kindly ask that you refrain from sharing outputs that may offend others.
  • For instance, one must detail in a Foreword or Introduction (or someplace similar) the relative roles of drafting, editing, etc. People should not represent Empsing-generated content as being wholly generated by a human or wholly generated by an AI, and it is a human who must take ultimate responsibility for the content being published.

Here is some stock language you may use to describe your creative process, provided it is accurate:

The author generated this text in part with Empsing – an AI-based Digital Employees Platform. Upon generating draft language, the author reviewed, edited, and revised the language to their own liking and takes ultimate responsibility for the content of this publication.

Research

We believe it is important for the broader world to be able to evaluate our research and products, especially to understand and improve potential weaknesses and safety or bias problems in our models. Accordingly, we welcome research publications related to the Empsing. If you have any questions about research publications based on platform access or would like to give us advanced notice of a publication (though not required), please email us at hello@empsing.com.

In some cases, we may want to highlight your work internally and/or externally.

In others, such as publications that pertain to security or misuse of the platform, we may want to take appropriate actions to protect our users.

If you notice any safety or security issues with the platform in the course of your research, we ask that you please submit these immediately through our Vulnerability Response Program.

Researcher Access Program

There are a number of research directions we are excited to explore with the Empsing Platform. If you are interested in the opportunity for subsidized access, please provide us with details about your research use case on the Researcher Access Program page.

In particular, we consider the following to be especially important directions, though you are free to craft your own direction:

  • Alignment: How can we understand what objective, if any, a model is best understood as pursuing? How do we increase the extent to which that objective is aligned with human preferences, such as via prompt design or fine-tuning?
  • Fairness and representation: How should performance criteria be established for fairness and representation in language models? How can language models be improved in order to effectively support the goals of fairness and representation in specific, deployed contexts?
  • Interdisciplinary research: How can AI development draw on insights from other disciplines such as philosophy, cognitive science, and sociolinguistics?
  • Interopretability and transparency: How do these models work, mechanistically? Can we identify what concepts they’re using, or extract latent knowledge from the model, make inferences about the training procedure, or predict surprising future behavior?
  • Misuse potential: How can systems like the API be misused? What sorts of “red teaming” approaches can we develop to help us and other AI developers think about responsibly deploying technologies like this?
  • Model exploration: Models like those served by the API have a variety of capabilities which we have yet to explore. We’re excited by investigations in many areas including model limitations, linguistic properties, commonsense reasoning, and potential uses for many other problems.
  • Robustness: Generative models have uneven capability surfaces, with the potential for surprisingly strong and surprisingly weak areas of capability. How robust are large generative models to “natural” perturbations in the prompt, such as phrasing the same idea in different ways or with or without typos? Can we predict the kinds of domains and tasks for which large generative models are more likely to be robust (or not robust), and how does this relate to the training data? Are there techniques we can use to predict and mitigate worst-case behavior? How can robustness be measured in the context of few-shot learning (e.g., across variations in prompts)? Can we train models so that they satisfy safety properties with a very high level of reliability, even under adversarial inputs?

Please note that due to a high volume of requests, it takes time for us to review these applications and not all research will be prioritized for subsidy. We will only be in touch if your application is selected for subsidy.
