Description
Because generative models tend to produce output like the input provided, the model can be prompted to reveal specific kinds of information. For example, adding personal information in the prompt increases its likelihood of generating similar kinds of personal information in its output. If personal data was included as part of the model’s training, there is a possibility it could be revealed.
Why is prompt priming a concern for foundation models?
Jailbreaking attacks can be used to alter model behavior and benefit the attacker.

We provide examples covered by the press to help explain many of the foundation models' risks. Many of these events covered by the press are either still evolving or have been resolved, and referencing them can help the reader understand the potential risks and work towards mitigations. Highlighting these examples are for illustrative purposes only.
