How LLMs change Adversarial AI

Generative AI fundamentally reshapes the landscape of adversarial scenarios in AI, departing from the traditional challenges associated with predictive AI models.

This shift is underpinned by several key factors intrinsic to Generative AI technologies, including LLMs and other advanced generative systems.

First, the architecture and scale of Generative AI models are distinct from those developed using traditional machine learning frameworks such as Keras, TensorFlow, or PyTorch. Generative models, especially those categorized as foundation models, are characterized by their immense size and complexity.

Training such models demands significant computational resources and expertise, making it a specialized domain. As a result, foundational models tend to be developed exclusively by organizations specializing in LLMs.

This exclusivity reduces the likelihood of direct attacks on the model training process itself as the barrier to entry is considerably...
