Recently, AI researcher Simon Willison discovered a new-yet-familiar kind of attack on OpenAI’s GPT-3. The attack dubbed as prompt injection attack has taken the internet by storm over the last couple of weeks highlighting how vulnerable GPT-3 is to this attack. This review article gives a brief overview on GPT-3, its use, vulnerability, and how the said attack has been successful. Apart from that, links to different articles for additional reference and possible security measures are also highlighted in this post. OpenAI’s GPT-3 In May, 2020, San Francisco based AI research laboratory had launched its third generation language prediction model, […]
Artificial Intelligence and Cryptography: An Intersection
There has been this common belief among a large sector of academicians and researchers about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cryptography – “They are not relatable” or “There is nothing about Cryptography that AI can do.” Up until times when AI was still quite invisible, one might have continued believing the domains to be mutually exclusive. But is this belief still intact? Let’s find out. Ronald L. Rivest in year 1991 published his work Cryptography and Machine Learning where he brings out not only the relationship between both domains but also how each one influences another. Furthermore he also mentions how […]
Explainability vs. Confidentiality: A Conundrum
Ever since AI models have rendered biased results and have caused a major deal of dissatisfaction, panic, chaos, and insecurities, “Explainability” has become the buzz word. Indeed it’s genuine and a “Must-have” for an AI based product. The user has the right to question, “Why?” and “How?”. But how much of these queries are enough to set “Explainability” score? In other words, how much of the response to such queries by the model are enough to exceed “Confidentiality” threshold? For an ordinary user, may be a satisfactory response is enough as an explanation. But it’s not enough for a curious […]
AI : Let’s Get Serious
AI is ubiquitous and is finding its application in almost all domains, be it for simple sentence correction purpose or space navigation. The analogy of how AI behaves and thinks like a human, gives an impression that AI is quite simple and does not include much complicated programming. However, the seemingly simple technology of AI equally requires a lot of ground work to not just make it act like a human but also with greater deal of humanity. AI is not like just any other technology and yet is not any different either. Imagine teaching your toddler how to ride […]
