Dynamics of Adversarial Attacks on Large Language Model-Based Search Engines
A new research paper analyzes adversarial attacks on large language model-based search engines, framing the problem as an infinitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma. The study identifies conditions under which cooperation can be sustained, highlighting the influence of attack costs, discount rates, and trigger strategies. Counterintuitively, the research suggests that reducing attack success probabilities might incentivize attacks in some scenarios, and capping success rates could be ineffective. AI
