Anthropic Red Team Methods Are a Necessary Step in Closing AI Security Holes

AI red team up East prove effective In discover security gaps that other security approaches can't see, economy AI companies Since having their models used has produce objectionable content.

Anthropic released It is AI red team guidelines last week, join A band of AI suppliers that include Google, Microsoft, NIST, Nvidia And OpenAI, WHO to have Also released comparable frames.

THE aim East has identify And close AI model security gaps

All announcement executives share THE common aim of identify And closing growth security gaps In AI models.

It is those growth security gaps that to have the legislators And policy makers worried And push For more on, secure, And trustworthy AI. THE On, Secure, And Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (14110) Executive Order (OE) by President Biden, which came out on October. 30, 2018, said that NIST "will establish appropriate guidelines (except For AI used as A component of A national security system), including appropriate procedures And process, has enable developers of AI, especially of dual use foundation models, has to drive AI red team tests has enable deployment of on, secure, And trustworthy systems. »

NIST released two draft publications In late April has help manage THE risks of generative AI. They are companion resources has NIST AI Risk Management Frame (AI RMF) And Secure Software Development Frame (SSDF).

Germany Federal Desk For Information Security (BSI) provides red team up as part of It is wider IT protection frame. Australia, Canada, THE European Union, Japan, THE The Netherlands, And Singapore to have notable executives In place. THE European Parliament pass THE  EU Artificial Intelligence Act In March of This year.

Red team up AI models rely on on iterations of randomized techniques

Red team up East A technical that interactively tests AI models has simulate miscellaneous, unpredictable the attacks, with THE aim of determine Or their strong And weak areas are. Generative AI (genAI) models are exceptionally difficult has test as they imitate man-generated content has scale.

THE aim East has get models has TO DO And say things they are not program has TO DO, including surfacing Prejudices. They rely on on LLM has automate fast generation And attack scenarios has find And correct model weaknesses has ladder. Models can easily be “jailbroken” has create to hate speech, pornography, to use protected by copyright material, Or regurgitate source data, including social security And phone numbers.

A recent BusinessBeat interview with THE most prolific jailbreak of ChatGPT And other leading LLM illustrated Why red team up needs has take A multimodal, multifaceted approach has THE challenge.

Red the teams value In improvement AI model security keep on going has be proven In industry-wide competitions. A of THE four methods Anthropic mentioned In their
