Part 10/13:
He argues that traditional security testing methodologies are ill-equipped to handle the unique challenges posed by AI. Unlike standard systems, AI models require a new generation of systematic testing to identify subtle prompt-based vulnerabilities. Shepard remains optimistic, believing that because these issues are now known, they can be addressed through improved security protocols that involve hardening AI systems with constraints and safeguards.
The Evolving Landscape of AI Security and Responsibility
Shepard emphasizes that accountability for AI errors—or malicious manipulation—must lie with the deploying entities, such as corporations or regulatory bodies. Proper constraints, rigorous oversight, and continuous monitoring are essential components of responsible AI deployment.
