Sander Schulhoff of Learn Prompting joins us at The Security Table to discuss prompt injection and AI security. Prompt injection is a technique that manipulates AI models such as ChatGPT to produce undesired or harmful outputs, such as instructions for building a bomb or rewarding refunds on false claims. Sander provides a helpful introduction to this concept and a basic overview of how AIs are structured and trained. Sander's perspective from AI research and practice balances our security questions as we uncover where the real security threats lie and propose appropriate security responses.
Sander explains the HackAPrompt competition that challenged participants to trick AI models into saying "I have been pwned." This task proved surprisingly difficult due to AI models' resistance to specific phrases and provided an excellent framework for understanding the complexities of AI manipulation. Participants employed various creative techniques, including crafting massive input prompts to exploit the physical limitations of AI models. These insights shed light on the need to apply basic security principles to AI, ensuring that these systems are robust against manipulation and misuse.
Our discussion then shifts to more practical aspects, with Sander sharing valuable resources for those interested in becoming adept at prompt injection. We explore the ethical and security implications of AI in decision-making scenarios, such as military applications and self-driving cars, underscoring the importance of human oversight in AI operations. The episode culminates with a call to integrate lessons learned from traditional security practices into the development and deployment of AI systems, a crucial step towards ensuring the responsible use of this transformative technology.
