Quick definition

Adversarial testing probes models for edge cases.

  • Category: Safety
  • Focus: risk reduction
  • Used in: Filtering sensitive or unsafe requests.

What it means

It improves safety and robustness. In safety workflows, adversarial testing often shapes risk reduction.

How it works

Safety systems combine policy rules, classifiers, and human feedback to reduce harmful outputs.

Why it matters

Safety concepts reduce harmful outputs and protect users.

Common use cases

  • Filtering sensitive or unsafe requests.
  • Adding guardrails around tools and actions.
  • Redacting private information in logs and outputs.

Example

Test prompt injection attempts.

Pitfalls and tips

Over-blocking can frustrate users while under-blocking increases risk. Balance safety with usability.
