How AI can be hacked with prompt injection: NIST report

3 min read - The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) closely observes the AI lifecycle, and for good reason. As AI proliferates, so does the discovery and exploitation of AI cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Prompt injection is one such vulnerability that specifically attacks generative AI. In Adversarial Machine Learning: A Taxonomy and Terminology of Attacks and Mitigations, NIST defines various adversarial machine learning (AML) tactics and cyberattacks, like prompt injection, and advises users on how to mitigate and manage them. AML tactics extract information…

X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2024 reveals stolen credentials as top risk, with AI attacks on the horizon
