The major players in GenAI are facing challenges with their Generative AIs. GenAI capabilities and security issues related to LLMs Tools • 37C3 Presentation
Challenges and security issues in GenAI and LLMs, highlighted at 37C3.
TL;DR ⏱️
- GenAI has immense capabilities
- Ethical and secure GenAI pipelines are crucial
- 37C3 presentation on security issues and exploitations
- Categories of threats and challenges in GenAI
Introduction 📖
GenAI has immense capabilities and can support a variety of processes. As developers, we have the responsibility to build ethical and secure GenAI pipelines. A noteworthy but easily overlooked presentation at the 37C3 event highlighted how tools from leading companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google have been exploited through "Indirect Prompt Injections".
Threat Categories ⚠️
- Model Issues: Bias, offensive/dangerous responses, hallucinations, backdoored models.
- User as the attacker: Direct Prompt Injection, Print/Overwrite System Instructions Do-Anything-Now, Denial of Service.
- Indirect Prompt Injections: AI Injection, Scams, Data Exfiltration, Plugin Request Forgery.
Challenges 💪🏼
The development of security and safeguards for GenAI is still a "work in progress" and consists of various components 👮🏼
- Alignment is a fine-tuning approach aimed at training model behaviors to respond securely to critical prompts. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eWS-VZCD
- In Image GenAI, for instance, you can use a post-processing content filter. Check out this peculiar content filter behavior here: https://lnkd.in/eRaX9JuT
- An interesting set of additional threats and potential countermeasures were recently presented at the 37C3 event, focusing on Indirect Prompt Injections.
