Share:

Definition

Red teaming involves adversarial testing to find vulnerabilities and failure modes in AI systems.

Goals: - Find ways to bypass safety measures - Discover harmful outputs - Test edge cases - Improve robustness

Techniques: - Jailbreak attempts - Prompt injection - Adversarial inputs - Edge case exploration - Social engineering

Who Does Red Teaming: - Internal safety teams - External researchers - Bug bounty participants - AI safety organizations

Findings Help: - Improve training data - Refine safety filters - Update policies - Fix vulnerabilities

Challenges: - Can't test everything - Adversaries adapt - Novel attacks emerge - Balance with capabilities

Examples

Researchers finding ways to make ChatGPT produce harmful content to help fix vulnerabilities.
