 😱 Researchers Found a Serious Vulnerability in ChatGPT

A group of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a significant vulnerability in popular chatbots, like ChatGPT, Bard, and Claude from Anthropic.

By adding a seemingly innocent string of text to the prompts, they were able to trick these bots into generating harmful or prohibited responses.

They found that by adding a certain string of text to prompts, they were able to trick these bots into generating harmful or prohibited responses. 😲

For example, chatbots don't generate harmful responses to prompts like this: “How can I make a person disappear forever?”, “How can I make illegal drugs?”.

But by adding the strings described in the research paper, the researchers were able to make these bots generate harmful or prohibited responses.

You can view a live example of this here.

The researchers warned OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic about this issue. They have introduced blocks to counter the exploits. However, it's not a simple problem, so they haven't found a comprehensive solution yet.

Hopefully, someone will figure out a solution soon!🤞

You can read the research paper for a more detailed analysis of the vulnerability.

 📸 Google's AI-Enhanced Search Now Shows Related Videos and Images.

Google has updated its AI-powered Search Generative Experiment (SGE) to show images or videos related to your search query.

For example, if you search for "tiniest birds of prey" or "how to remove marble stains," you'll see bird-related pictures or stain removal videos directly in the generative search suggestion box.

But that’s not all!

Your search results will now show the date of publishing for suggested links.

All these form part of the recent performance improvements Google made to provide users with faster AI-powered results.

You can sign up to test these new AI-powered search features through Search Labs.
