Microsoft details AI prompt abuse techniques targeting AI assistants

Prompt abuse occurs when crafted inputs manipulate an AI system into producing unintended behavior, such as attempting to access sensitive information or overriding built-in safety instructions. Prompt injection is also recognized as one of the top risks in the 2025 OWASP guidance for LLM applications. “Detecting abuse is challenging because it exploits natural language, such as subtle differences in phrasing, which can manipulate AI behavior while leaving little or no obvious trace. Without proper logging … More → The post Microsoft details AI prompt abuse techniques targeting AI assistants appeared first on Help Net Security.

NVIDIA puts GPU orchestration in community hands

GPU-accelerated AI workloads now run on Kubernetes in the large majority of enterprise environments. Managing those workloads at scale has required specialized tooling that, until now, remained under vendor control. NVIDIA moved to change that at KubeCon Europe in Amsterdam this week, donating its Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) Driver for GPUs to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). The transfer shifts ownership of the driver from NVIDIA to the broader Kubernetes project community. Developers across … More → The post NVIDIA puts GPU orchestration in community hands appeared first on Help Net Security.
