Abstract
Assessments of guardrails of LLMs, whether used by an application or within an AI/LM stack, must be dynamic to protect against the ongoing engineering of jailbreaking prompts. An assessment framework has been created that facilitates assessment of language model guardrails. The assessment framework includes a prompt generator and has access to sensitive data (e.g., source code, trade secret, confidential documents, etc.) that occurs in training data of a model being assessed. The framework provides the prompt generator jailbreaking strategies and categories of the sensitive data (e.g., program code, trade secret, confidential document.). With the data categories and the strategies, the prompt generator generates different prompts and submits them to the AI-powered application or LM stack being assessed. The assessment framework then analyzes the outputs/responses from the AI-powered application or LM stack to determine whether guardrails have been subverted and any of the sensitive data has been exfiltrated.
