HAC4 CHITCHAT

As a globally recognized custodian of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), the ICRC is committed to ensuring that new technologies are not adopted at the expense of humanity, impartiality, neutrality, and independence. CHITCHAT establishes a principled framework with which to design, evaluate, and deploy large multimodal language models. Specifically, we build Legotron, an IHL chatbot, and use this framework to ensure continuous humanitarian alignment and facilitate its critical evaluation.
