These scenarios are just two examples of how prompt injection attacks can manipulate AI systems. By exploiting critical vulnerabilities in the way AI interprets input, attackers can turn seemingly harmless prompts into significant threats—leaking confidential information, spreading disinformation, or triggering inappropriate actions.
But how do they do it? And more importantly, how can you stop it? The good news is, with the right defensive strategies, these risks are not only manageable—they can be effectively mitigated.
In this article, Georg Dressler, Principal Software Developer at Ray Sono, explores the mechanics of prompt injection attacks, their real-world implications, and the actionable steps you can take to safeguard your AI systems.
