Examples
Worked examples
- Is an instance
A frontier-lab internal red team running 6 weeks of structured probes pre-deployment and recording all elicited failures.
- Is an instance
A public red-team event at DEF CON 31 inviting 2,200 participants to probe four frontier models.
Counter-examples
Looks similar, but isn't
- Not an instance
Standard benchmark evaluation.
- Not an instance
User feedback gathered post-deployment.
Editorial commentary
AI red-teaming draws on traditions from information-security and military adversarial testing. It complements automated evaluation by uncovering issues that benchmarks miss. Red-team reports are increasingly disclosed alongside frontier models (OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, Meta Llama). DEF CON 31's Generative Red Team event normalised public red-team exercises.
