But how does an AI prompt injection attack work, and how can you protect yourself?
What Is an AI Prompt Injection Attack?
AI prompt injection attacks take advantage of generative AI models' vulnerabilities to manipulate their output.
They can be performed by you or injected by an external user through an indirect prompt injection attack.
How Do Prompt Injection Attacks Work?
Prompt injection attacks work by feeding additional instructions to an AI without the consent or knowledge of the user.

Hackers can accomplish this in a few ways, including DAN attacks and indirect prompt injection attacks.
The same result occurs: poisoned output and modified behavior.
The potential applications of training data poisoning attacks are practically limitless.

Training data poisoning attacks can’t harm you directly but can make other threats possible.
Are AI Prompt Injection Attacks a Threat?
Furthermore, the threat of AI prompt injection attacks hasn’t gone unnoticed by authorities.
No attacks are known to have succeeded yet beyond experiments, but that will likely change.
you’ve got the option to protect yourself by always applying a healthy amount of scrutiny to AI.
