How to Apply for GenAI Analyst
at ActiveFence
🏢 About ActiveFence
ActiveFence is a leading Trust & Safety technology company that provides tools to online platforms for detecting and managing harmful content at scale. What makes them unique is their focus on proactive threat intelligence and their work across multiple abuse areas including hate speech, misinformation, and child safety. Someone might want to work there to be at the forefront of securing emerging technologies like generative AI while tackling real-world online safety challenges.
About This Role
This GenAI Analyst role involves developing adversarial prompts to test vulnerabilities in various AI models (LLMs, text-to-image, text-to-video) and analyzing content infringements across multiple abuse areas. It's impactful because you'll be directly contributing to making generative AI tools safer by identifying weaknesses before they can be exploited by bad actors, working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and online safety.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve developing and testing adversarial prompts against various AI models to identify vulnerabilities, analyzing flagged content across different abuse categories and languages, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to refine safety measures. You'd also likely be researching emerging threats to generative AI systems and managing datasets to ensure high-quality outputs for model training and evaluation.
