Jailbreak
What is Jailbreak?
A technique used to bypass an AI model's safety guardrails by crafting inputs that manipulate the model into generating content it would normally refuse. AI developers actively work to patch jailbreaks through model updates and improved safety training.
Example in practice
A security team auditing their enterprise AI deployment would include jailbreak attempts in their red-teaming exercise to verify the system prompt constraints cannot be bypassed by adversarial users.
