Summary
OpenAI has unveiled GPT-Red, an AI system that automates red-teaming (a type of security testing where evaluators try to find ways to break or hijack a system), traditionally done by human testers. The goal is to identify as many vulnerabilities as possible before attackers can exploit them, potentially helping OpenAI stay ahead of malicious actors.
