Red teaming exercises are one of the best ways to find novel risk, making them ideal for finding security and safety concerns in emerging technologies like generative AI. This can be done using a combination of penetration testing, time-bound offensive hacking competitions, and bug bounty programs.

With this clear focus on safety, security, and accountability, red teaming practices are likely to be considered favorably by regulators worldwide, as well as aligning with the UK government's vision for responsible AI development.

Another advantage of setting up red teaming as a method of AI testing is that it can be used for both safety and security.

A red teaming exercise for AI security takes a different angle.

It's worth noting that when red teaming members are given the opportunity to collaborate, their combined output becomes even more effective, regularly exceeding results from traditional security testing.

Building on the established bug bounty approach, this new wave of red teaming addresses the novel security and safety challenges posed by AI that businesses must address before launching new deployments or reviewing existing products.
