We dive deep into the world of AI security with Microsoft's Senior Offensive Security Engineer, Joris De Gruyter, from the AI Red Team, who shares insights into how they test and break AI systems to ensure safety and trustworthiness.

TAKEAWAYS
• Microsoft requires all AI features to be thoroughly documented and approved by a central board
• The AI Red Team tests products adversarially and as regular users to identify vulnerabilities
• Red teaming originated in military exercises during the Cold War before being adapted for software security
• The team tests for jailbreaks, harmful content generation, data exfiltration, and bias
• Team members come from diverse backgrounds including PhDs in machine learning, traditional security, and military experience
• New AI modalities like audio, images, and video each present unique security challenges
• Mental health support is prioritized since team members regularly encounter disturbing content
• Working exclusively with failure modes creates a healthy skepticism about AI capabilities
• Hands-on experimentation is recommended for anyone wanting to develop AI skills
• Curating your own information sources rather than relying on algorithms helps discover new knowledge

Check out the Microsoft co-pilot and other AI tools to start experimenting and finding practical ways they can help in your daily work.
