Summary: The risks of prompt injection attacks through autonomous AI agents

The security community is beginning to come to terms with the risks presented by open-source autonomous AI agents, such as Auto-GPT, that are being used to automate tasks and processes. Prompt injection attacks, which exploit the fact that many AI applications rely on hard-coded prompts to instruct LLMs such as GPT-4 to perform certain tasks, could allow malicious actors to hijack large language models and use them to conduct automated prompt injection attacks. Prompt injection attacks could allow malicious actors to hijack large language models and use them to conduct automated prompt injection attacks.
