As a listener of Software Engineering Daily you understand the impact of generative AI. On the podcast, we’ve covered many exciting aspects of GenAI technologies, as well as the new vulnerabilities and risks they bring.

HackerOne’s AI red teaming addresses the novel challenges of AI safety and security for businesses launching new AI deployments.

Their approach involves stress-testing AI models and deployments to make sure they can’t be tricked into providing information beyond their intended use, and that security flaws can’t be exploited to access confidential data or systems.

Within the HackerOne community, over 750 active hackers specialize in prompt hacking and other AI security and safety testing.

In a single recent engagement, a team of 18 HackerOne hackers quickly identified 26 valid findings within the initial 24 hours and accumulated over 100 valid findings in the two-week engagement.
