"Researchers Develop 'Masterkey' AI to Automate Jailbreaking of Chatbots"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by VICE
Researchers have developed an AI tool named "Masterkey" that can automate the process of jailbreaking other chatbots, finding new ways to bypass safety and content filters. This tool was trained using common jailbreak prompts and can generate new prompts with a higher success rate than previously known methods. The research aimed to help companies identify and fix vulnerabilities in chatbot systems, and the findings have been shared with affected companies for them to patch the loopholes. The study highlights the ongoing challenge of securing AI chatbots against misuse, as they do not truly understand content but rely on statistical models to generate responses.
