 ## Short summary: how to address AI Security
 
-While AI offers powerful perfomance boosts, it also increases the attack surface available to bad actors. It is therefore imperative to approach AI applications with a clear understanding of potential threats and which of those threats to prioritize for each use case. Standards and governance help guide this process for individual entities leveraging AI capabilities.

The missile is then manipulated to attack houses. With a good test set this unwanted behaviour may be detected. However, the attacker can make the poisoned data represent input that normally doesn't occur and therefore would not be in a testset. The attacker can then create that abnormal input in practice.

That false information can be planted by an attacker, but of course also by accident. The latter case is a real GenAI risk, but technically comes down to the issue of having false data in a training set which falls outside of the security scope.

 Prompt injection ([OWASP for LLM 01](https://llmtop10.com/llm01/)) manipulates a large language model (GenAI) through the injection of instructions as part of a text from a compromised source that is inserted into a prompt by an application, causing unintended actions or answers by the LLM (GenAI).
 
-Example: let's say a chat application takes questions about car models. It turns a question into a prompt to a Large Language Model (LLM, a GenAI) by adding the text from the website about that car. If that website has been compromised with instruction invisibile to the eye, those instructions are inserted into the prompt and may result in the user getting false or offensive information.
