What is Prompt Injection?

from Generative AI 101 Hosted by Emily Laird

What do Renaissance poets, Reddit trolls, and your company’s chatbot have in common? They’re all vulnerable to prompt injection. Host Emily Laird breaks down how language alone can hijack your AI systems, no malware, no hoodie, just a well-placed phrase. From direct attacks that rewrite instructions mid-chat to sneaky indirect threats buried in calendar invites and SVG files, Emily exposes the dark magic of prompt injection and why it’s terrifyingly effective. Tune in for a wild ride through multimodal attacks, accidental obedience, and the art of whispering lies to machines trained to listen.
