Defending LLMs against Jailbreaking: Definition, examples and prevention

Jailbreaking refers to maliciously manipulating Large Language Models (LLMs) to bypass their ethical constraints and produce unauthorized outputs. This emerging threat arises from combining the models' high adaptability with inherent vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit through techniques like prompt injection. Mitigating jailbreaking risks requires a holistic approach involving robust security measures, adversarial testing, red teaming, and ongoing vigilance to safeguard the integrity and reliability of AI systems.
