"DEF CON Generative AI Hacking Challenge Explored Cutting Edge of Security Vulnerabilities"
OpenAI, Google, Meta, and other companies tested their Large Language Models (LLMs) at the DEF CON hacker conference. Results from the event have provided the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Congressional AI Caucus with a new corpus of information. The Generative Red Team Challenge, organized by AI Village, SeedAI, and Humane Intelligence, provides greater insight into the potential misuse of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and what methods could secure it. During the challenge, hackers were tasked with forcing generative AI to produce personal or harmful information, contrary to its intended function. The AI Village team is still analyzing the event's data and expects to present it in September 2023. This article continues to discuss the Generative Red Team Challenge influencing AI security policy, the vulnerabilities LLMs are likely to have, and how to prevent these vulnerabilities.
