About this paper

Subhabrata Majumdar, Brian Pendleton, Abhishek Gupta

This paper critically evaluates current AI red teaming practices, which often narrowly focus on model flaws, and proposes a comprehensive two-level framework. It integrates macro-level system-wide analysis across the AI lifecycle with micro-level model testing, aiming to identify systemic and emergent risks more effectively. A case study demonstrated its ability to drive fundamental architectural changes and enhance safety in a healthcare AI system before deployment.

Key insights

  • The historical intent of red teaming as a holistic critical thinking exercise, challenging assumptions across entire systems, is often overlooked in current AI applications.
  • Effective AI red teaming requires a two-tiered approach, integrating macro-level system analysis throughout the AI lifecycle with micro-level model-specific testing.
  • Adopting systems-theoretic perspectives and drawing from cybersecurity best practices are crucial for identifying emergent risks and systemic vulnerabilities in AI deployments.
