NY Tech Week 2025

This workshop explores the case study of the world's first multicultural and multilingual AI Safety Red Teaming Challenge focused on Asia-Pacific, conducted by Humane Intelligence and IMDA Singapore. You'll get hands-on experience using our no-code platform to perform actual red teaming exercises that identify cultural biases and linguistic vulnerabilities across diverse contexts, equipping you with practical skills to evaluate and improve AI systems through inclusive testing methodologies.

About the Presenter: Sarah Amos, a former journalist turned product manager, is dedicated to bridging people with information through responsible systems, currently serving as a Product Manager at Humane Intelligence. Previously, she was a Product Manager at Twitter focusing on Civic Integrity, building features to mitigate the harms of platform manipulation, misinformation and abuse during global election cycles, and before that founded and led the R&D Department at Dataminr, an AI-enabled platform uncovering early signals of high-impact events from publicly available data.

Prompting is a common first point of contact between people and large language models (LLMs), and the quality of the prompt heavily influences the output of the model, the successful maintenance of system guardrails, and the overall user experience. Prompt creation is often highly dependent on specialized knowledge and can be challenging for non-AI experts because it’s iterative, time consuming, and prompting practices are constantly evolving. To address these problems, Responsible Prompting is an LLM-agnostic, lightweight recommender system that aims to dynamically support users in crafting prompts that reflect responsible intentions and help avoid undesired or negative outputs. In this workshop, we will show how Responsible Prompting API works and how it can be customized to your needs.
