LLM data poisoning is easy to do but hard to fix, experts say · 3 sources tracked

Data poisoning poses a significant and difficult-to-solve security risk for large language models (LLMs), according to multiple Mastodon posts. The core issue stems from using LLMs as general-purpose tools beyond their original design for language processing. While poisoning is easy to execute, completely securing LLMs against it is considered impossible, necessitating robust threat modeling. AI

IMPACT Highlights the inherent security vulnerabilities in LLMs, emphasizing the need for advanced threat modeling as a mitigation strategy.

RANK_REASON Multiple social media posts discussing the inherent security risks of LLMs due to data poisoning, without originating from a primary source or research paper.

    LLMs aren‘t insecure because they have been badly trained, they are insecure because we are using them as a general purpose tool. Securing them is from data poisoning completely is impossible. Threat modeling is a necessary activity because of it. #llm #ai
