[Bytedance Seed establishes separate large model security and alignment department] On October 13th, Bytedance Seed recently sent an internal email announcing that it would establish a "Seed Model-Alignment & Preparedness" department, which will be headed by Yan Lin and reported to Wu Yonghui, the person in charge of Seed. The original Responsible AI team and some members of the Chat team will be transferred to the new department. The establishment of this department aims to strengthen investment in safety and alignment. The core of alignment is to align the behavior of the model with human intentions and safety constraints, thereby improving the security capabilities of the Agent Model and preventing risks in cutting-edge capabilities such as CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear).
