Automated Red-Teaming

Automated Red-Teaming allows users to automatically generate mutated malicious prompts to test the safety of a model. The generated prompts can then be used to test the safety of a model.

  • Prompts: a compilation of malicious prompts
  • Mutators: a way to create adverserial prompts from the malicious ones. This may or may not be generative.

Here's how you can do this easily in WalledEval!
