Among the most sophisticated actors exploiting these platforms are Russian-linked bot networks, which use targeted campaigns and automated reporting tools to silence critics, manipulate narratives, and trigger account suspensions. I know, my Instagram account is a frequent target of theirs.

Powerful prompt engineering techniques for LLM hacking – how Large Language Models are hacked.

As Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini become more prevalent, hackers are, of course, finding ingenious ways to hack them. They succeed because LLMs struggle to distinguish between legitimate instructions and adversarial inputs. Sure, they have some defenses, including input sanitization, output filtering, and adversarial training, but thus far, no foolproof solution exists to stop a hacker from tricking an LLM into doing what they want.

Machine learning glossary

Machine learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on developing computer systems capable of learning from data, identifying patterns, and making decisions or predictions with minimal human intervention. Instead of being explicitly programmed with step-by-step instructions for every task, a machine learning system is designed to improve its performance automatically as it is exposed to more data and experience.
