Red Teaming

Definition A structured adversarial testing process where people or automated systems attempt to find failure modes, safety vulnerabilities, or policy violations in an AI model before it is deployed. Red teaming is a core practice in responsible AI development.

In Depth

AI red teaming borrows from cybersecurity's adversarial mindset: testers try jailbreaks, prompt injections, roleplay-based bypasses, and edge-case inputs to surface harms the model might produce. Major AI labs conduct both internal red team exercises and external engagements with independent researchers. Findings inform additional safety training, guardrail tuning, and deployment restrictions.
