Risk Domain
Vulnerabilities that can be exploited in AI systems, software development toolchains, and hardware, resulting in unauthorized access, data and privacy breaches, or system manipulation causing unsafe outputs or behavior.
"It refers to the appending of deceptive or misleading instructions to the input of models in an attempt to induce the system into ignoring the original user prompt and producing an unsafe response."(p. 4)
