Risk to ARES Evaluation

This notebook explains how to run risks evaluation using the ARES red-teaming framework¶

Import libraries¶

In [2]:

from ai_atlas_nexus.blocks.inference import (
    RITSInferenceEngine,
    WMLInferenceEngine,
    OllamaInferenceEngine,
    VLLMInferenceEngine,
)
from ai_atlas_nexus.blocks.inference.params import (

AI Atlas Nexus uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to infer risks dimensions. Therefore requires access to LLMs to inference or call the model.¶

Available Inference Engines: WML, Ollama, vLLM, RITS. Please follow the Inference APIs guide before going ahead.

Note: RITS is intended solely for internal IBM use and requires TUNNELALL VPN for access.

Load ARES connectors and select Target AI Model to perform ARES Red-Teaming Evaluation¶

In [5]:

from ran_ares_integration.assets import ARES_CONNECTORS

target = ARES_CONNECTORS["huggingface"]
target["model_config"]["pretrained_model_name_or_path"] = "Qwen/Qwen2-0.5B-Instruct"
target["tokenizer_config"]["pretrained_model_name_or_path"] = "Qwen/Qwen2-0.5B-Instruct"

Submit attack risks from the use case to the ARES red-teaming framework to evaluate potential vulnerabilities.¶

Generate Automatic Risk to ARES mapping¶

You can generate Risk to ARES Mapping to select goals, strategies, and evaluations based on the risk description and plugin metadata.

Note: Before running, please make sure that goals, strategies and evaluation entries are up to date in the RAN-ARES extension.
