Jailbreak AI

Definitions

1. An attempt to bypass an AI system's intended safeguards, restrictions, or instruction boundaries through adversarial prompting or workflow manipulation. Jailbreak attempts are a major concern in public-facing AI systems because they can expose unsafe or disallowed behavior.

   In plain English: A way of trying to get an AI system to ignore its safety rules.

   Example: "The red team found a jailbreak AI pattern that tricked the assistant into treating hostile instructions as fictional role-play."
