Outline

This paper examines red teaming activities to effectively detect potential risks in AI models. We point out that existing automated red teaming approaches fail to account for human backgrounds and identities, and propose PersonaTeaming, a novel method for exploring diverse adversarial strategies using personas. We develop a methodology for modifying prompts based on personas, such as "red team expert" or "general AI user," and an algorithm for automatically generating various persona types. We also propose a new metric for measuring the diversity of adversarial prompts. Experimental results show that PersonaTeaming improves attack success rates by up to 144.1% compared to the existing state-of-the-art method, RainbowPlus. We discuss the pros and cons of various persona types and modification methods, and suggest future research directions for exploring the complementarity between automated and human red teaming approaches.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
A novel approach that integrates human identity and background into automated red teaming activities.
Confirmed effectiveness of improving the attack success rate of hostile prompts through PersonaTeaming.
Development of a new metric to measure the diversity of adversarial prompts
A new direction for research on the complementarity between automated and human red team approaches.
Limitations:
Currently, PersonaTeaming is limited to specific character types and transformation methods. Further research is needed to explore a wider range of character types and transformation methods.
Further validation of the generalizability of the developed indicators is needed.
There is a possibility that the complex risks of the real world may not be fully captured.
Further research is needed on the bias and ethical considerations of character generation algorithms.
