EleutherAI has released a paper detailing a new approach to AI safety for open-weight models, focusing on filtering pretraining data rather than relying on post-hoc refusal training. Their method, called "Deep Ignorance," aims to build tamper-resistant safeguards by removing knowledge related to biorisks from the training dataset. The study involved filtering over 400 million documents using a multi-stage pipeline, demonstrating that this proactive data curation can significantly reduce a model's knowledge of sensitive topics without substantial computational overhead.
