In this paper, we present findings from an semi-experimental exploration of rater diversity and its influence on safety annotations of conversations generated by humans talking to a generative AI-chat bot.

Our work helps define best practices in model development – specifically human evaluation of generative models – on the backdrop of growing work on sociotechnical AI evaluations.
