UK AI Security Institute

Type: organization (government AI-safety body) | Domain relevance: Co-author of the data-poisoning study behind the wiki’s “250 documents” correction.


Summary

The UK AI Security Institute (UK AISI) is a British government body focused on AI safety/security. Its Safeguards team co-conducted the “small samples poison LLMs” study with Anthropic and the Alan Turing Institute — the primary source the wiki uses to correct the 250 Authority Protocol (see Data Poisoning & LLM Backdoors). Its involvement is part of why the study is treated as credible research rather than vendor content.
