TP#1 Prepare Yourself: Five Traps Lurking in AI Tech

Plus 7 Techniques for Reverse Prompt Engineering

Introducing the first edition of ThreatPrompt newsletter, where AI and Cybersecurity intersect. Every Saturday, I provide actionable insights to help you get the most from AI, while managing the risks.

First things first: what is the prompt in ThreatPrompt? Here is the definition straight from the horses mouth:

A prompt is a set of instructions or a statement that is used to guide or elicit a response from a person or machine. In the context of language processing, a prompt is a text or question that is presented to a language model, such as GPT, to generate a response. The prompt helps to define the context and topic for the language model's response.
