We’ll dive into the shadowy world of prompt hacking and unauthorized AI misuse, where attackers exploit vulnerabilities in large language models (LLMs) and integrated AI systems to manipulate outputs or extract sensitive data. Through real-world examples and hands-on demonstrations, you’ll uncover the tactics used in these attacks, from crafting malicious prompts to bypassing safety mechanisms. We’ll then pivot to robust defense strategies, exploring techniques to secure your code, harden applications, and implement safeguards like input validation, context-aware filtering, and monitoring. This session equips developers, security professionals, and AI enthusiasts with the knowledge to protect their systems while understanding the evolving threat landscape of AI misuse.
