Gray Swan tackles AI security risks with advanced red teaming tools

Gray Swan, a company co-founded by Zico Kolter and Matt Fredrikson, is developing tools and methodologies for AI security, focusing on "gray swan" events—unlikely but foreseeable AI incidents. Their work addresses vulnerabilities like prompt injection, particularly in AI agents, and they have developed tools such as Shade for adversarial red teaming and Cygnal for policy enforcement. Kolter, an OpenAI board member, and Fredrikson, a CMU professor, emphasize that AI security requires a different mindset than traditional cybersecurity, especially as AI systems become more capable of attacking and defending other AI systems.
