Understanding Prompt Injection: A Deep Dive into How AI Can be Exploited

As AI becomes integral to business operations, it introduces new vulnerabilities, particularly through prompt injection. Unlike traditional software attacks, prompt injection exploits the text-based inputs that drive Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini. These models, despite their power, cannot distinguish between benign and malicious instructions.

Key Topics Discussed:

1. Step-by-step breakdown of prompt injection
2. Various types of prompt injection attacks
3. Technical example of how WitnessAI would prevent a prompt injection attack
