As developers, we’re embracing AI and large language models (LLMs) in our applications more than ever. However, there’s an increasing concern we need to be aware of: prompt injection. This sneaky attack can undermine our AI systems by manipulating the input to produce unintended outputs.
In this session, we’ll break down what prompt injection really means and look at some common techniques attackers use, like instruction overrides and hidden prompts. But we won't stop there; we’ll also explore advanced challenges, including escalation techniques that can exacerbate the risks.
Most importantly, we won’t just identify the problem. We’ll dive into practical steps you can take to mitigate these risks and keep your AI interactions secure. Join us at Devoxx to gain insights that will help you stay ahead in AI security and ensure your applications remain robust against these emerging threats.
