🚨 Microsoft's 'Skeleton Key' AI Threat Unveiled
AI Box: Microsoft has disclosed a new type of AI jailbreak attack dubbed “Skeleton Key,” capable of bypassing responsible AI guardrails in multiple generative AI models. This underscores the urgent need for robust security measures across all AI systems.
The details:
The Skeleton Key attack persuades AI models to disregard built-in safeguards, enabling unauthorized control over outputs.
Successfully tested on models like Meta’s Llama3-70b-instruct, Google’s Gemini Pro, OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 Turbo, GPT-4, and others.
The technique bypasses safety protocols across sensitive content categories.
Microsoft responded by reinforcing AI defenses, including Copilot AI assistants and Azure AI models with Prompt Shields, to detect and prevent such breaches.
Why it matters: This revelation amplifies the critical challenge of securing AI systems amidst their expanding role in diverse applications, reinforcing the necessity for stringent protective measures.
Microsoft discovered a new type of generative AI jailbreak method, which we call Skeleton Key for its ability to subvert responsible AI (RAI) guardrails built into the model to enable and potentially produce ordinarily forbidden behaviors and content: msft.it/6015Y7XRF

🍏 AI Box: Apple's Strategic Move at OpenAI
AI Box: Apple has recently just gained a board observer role at OpenAI, as part of a deal to integrate ChatGPT with Siri and our devices, in exchange for user data.
The details:
Apple has chosen Phil Schiller, its former marketing chief, for the non-voting observer position. This role allows Apple to attend OpenAI board meetings without voting rights, mirroring Microsoft's involvement.
Schiller's participation will put Apple on par with Microsoft, OpenAI’s biggest backer.
However, he may be excluded from sensitive discussions between OpenAI and Microsoft.
Apple is also exploring partnerships with Google, Anthropic, Baidu, and Alibaba for additional AI features on its devices.
Why it matters: This partnership underscores Apple's commitment to AI technology and highlights the ongoing balance between innovation and user privacy in the tech industry.
NEW: Apple will get a board observer seat at OpenAI later this year as part its partnership for Apple Intelligence. The person getting the seat: Phil Schiller, the head of the App Store and former marketing chief.
