Dark Patterns AI Hackathon
Join us for an exciting weekend at our local Dark Patterns AI Hackathon!
We'll investigate manipulative behaviors embedded in large language models (LLMs), exploring their implications and potential risks. This event is inspired by the recent DarkBench paper by Esben Kran and colleagues, which introduces a benchmark for detecting dark design patterns in LLMs.
👥 Collaborate with expert mentors and fellow participants. No prior experience is required. Here are some resources to quickly get you up to speed:
DarkBench (Kran et al., Apart, 2025)
The LLM Evaluation Guidebook (Fourrier, HuggingFace)
🏆The winners will receive prizes, and exceptional participants may also be considered for further research or fellowships with Apart Research.
🍕 Expect engaging discussions, creative projects, plenty of snacks, coffee, and a collaborative atmosphere!
