AI red teaming comes of age

AI red teaming, the practice of testing AI systems for vulnerabilities before release, has become a major cybersecurity specialty since large language models like GPT-4 arrived, but traditional security testing methods no longer work. The field faces unique challenges because AI is probabilistic (producing different outputs each time) rather than deterministic, and because the most impactful attacks often come from casual users experimenting with prompts rather than sophisticated adversaries.
