Why do you care about AI Existential Safety?

Today, AI techniques become cornerstones of real-world applications even in safety-critical scenarios. Despite its success, several key challenges remain, which may deceive human perceptions and cause catastrophes in decision-making. Indeed, abuse of unreliable AI techniques could impose existential risks to humanity. Therefore, before designing more and more sophisticated AI models, it is important to ensure that AI would not threaten existential safety.

Please give one or more examples of research interests relevant to AI existential safety:

Looking at the big picture of AI Existential Safety, my research thrusts include 1) advanced data analysis solutions with better reliability and interpretability; 2) systematic benchmarking schemes for AI models; 3) applications of AI in mitigating cybersecurity threats.
