Red Teaming

What it is

Red teaming is deliberately trying to find flaws and vulnerabilities in AI systems before deployment. Red teams attempt to get harmful outputs, find biases, test guardrails, and generally try to break the system. It's like penetration testing for AI safety.

Why it matters

Red teaming is how AI developers discover problems before users do. It's a key part of responsible AI development. Understanding red teaming helps you appreciate the effort that goes into making AI systems safer and why new vulnerabilities are sometimes discovered post-launch.
