Understanding Prompt Injection

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
