Red Teaming

Red teaming in AI governance refers to the process of intentionally testing an AI system’s safeguards by simulating adversarial attacks or challenging scenarios. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities, assess risks, and ensure the model’s robustness, safety, and compliance.

Key Benefits of Red Teaming:

  1. Identifies vulnerabilities in AI models before deployment.
  2. Ensures compliance with ethical and regulatory standards.
  3. Improves the safety and robustness of AI systems.
  4. Helps prevent harmful outputs such as biased or toxic content.
  5. Provides actionable insights for improving model defenses.

Types of Red Teaming in AI:

  1. Static Red Teaming: Tests the model’s responses against predefined, known challenges.
  2. Dynamic Red Teaming: Generates adversarial prompts on-the-fly to simulate evolving risks.

Applications of Red Teaming:

  • Testing for bias, toxicity, or harmful behavior in language models.
  • Assessing alignment with ethical and corporate standards.
  • Ensuring model consistency under adversarial or edge-case scenarios.

Key Metrics:

  • Defense Success Rate (DSR): Measures the percentage of responses classified as safe during red teaming evaluations.
