🤖 AI Skeleton Attack

Microsoft uncovers the Skeleton Key attack, a significant threat to AI model security.

• Bypassing AI Guardrails: The Skeleton Key attack bypasses safety measures on AI models to produce harmful content. AI models like Meta Llama3-70b-instruct, Google Gemini Pro, and Anthropic Claude 3 Opus are among those affected, struggling to suppress dangerous outputs due to diverse training data. The attack demonstrates risks that remain unaddressed.

• Impact on AI Models: The Skeleton Key attack was tested on models such as OpenAI GPT 3.5 Turbo and Anthropic Claude 3 Opus, which mostly complied with producing unsafe content despite warnings. GPT-4 showed resistance to direct text prompts but was still vulnerable to behavior modification requests. Microsoft introduced AI security tools like Prompt Shields to counter these attacks.

• Developer Response: Mark Russinovich from Microsoft Azure categorized the Skeleton Key as a jailbreak threat requiring legitimate access. Developers have since fixed models following Microsoft's responsible disclosure.

Microsoft continues to test various AI models to evaluate their resilience against such attacks, focusing on advanced adversarial techniques like Greedy Coordinate Gradient and BEAST for future defense enhancements.

While the AI community addresses these vulnerabilities, continuous improvements in defense mechanisms will be crucial to safeguarding AI from evolving threats.

🚨 Character AI Calls

Character.AI's New Feature Lets You Call AI Avatars, Making Conversations Cooler and Smarter**

Character AI has rolled out a fresh feature that lets you chat with AI avatars over phone calls. You can now talk to these AI characters in different languages, like English, Spanish, Russian, and more.

During its testing phase, over 3 million users made a whopping 20 million calls! Imagine the possibilities—whether you're practicing a new language, preparing for a job interview, or just jazzing up your role-playing games, this feature has got you covered. It's as simple as tapping a button to start a call with a user-generated AI character.

Previously, Character AI introduced Character Voices in March, which let users hear AI characters speak during one-on-one chats. With over a million voices in its library, users could even create their own unique voices. This was all designed for a smooth experience, with reduced latency so there's no annoying lag.

Plus, you can switch between calling and texting without breaking a sweat. It's like having a conversation with a robot buddy who's always ready to chat!

Google is also getting in on the action, developing its own chatbot platform to rival Character AI and Meta.
