AI Dictionary › Prompting

Jailbreak

A jailbreak is an attempt to bypass an AI model's safety protections to make it produce content it would refuse. Techniques range from role-play tricks to sophisticated crafted prompts.

Definition

It differs from prompt injection in its target: jailbreaks attack the model's own rules, injection attacks the application built on the model. For companies the issue is concrete, defenses include robust models, application guardrails, red teaming before public release and continuous monitoring.
