Key points
- At Amazon, we invest heavily in internal safety testing for our models, spanning categories like harmful-content generation, cybersecurity risks, privacy protection, and copyright compliance.
- That's why we partnered with AVERI (AI Verification and Evaluation Research Institute), an independent nonprofit dedicated to third-party evaluation of AI systems, to conduct an independent review of our internal safety evaluation datasets.
- AVERI’s mandate wasn’t just to test model outputs but to examine the quality and rigor of our tests themselves — asking whether our evaluations stress-test safety boundaries.
- The benefits are mutual: Amazon gains an independent check on our evaluation quality, while AVERI gains practical experience with the real-world challenges of assessing internal evaluation processes — insights that can inform best practices for the field as a whole.
