In the fast-paced world of artificial intelligence, where even car dealerships have hopped on the tech bandwagon, one unsuspecting chatbot found itself at the centre of a digital prank war. It turns out that this bot, powered by ChatGPT and designed by Fullpath to assist potential car buyers, became the unwitting target of mischievous users attempting to outsmart its car-selling prowess.
The AI model should have been trained not just on general language patterns but also on the specific context and objectives of a car dealership. This would involve incorporating a set of predefined rules that guide the chatbot's behavior and prevent it from engaging in non-car-related discussions or entertaining requests that could compromise the dealership's integrity.
Mr. Chris Bakke who was in search of buying a chevy, while browsing through landed with the AI ChatGPT powered buyer assistant and successfully exploit it. The chatbot was manipulated with a prompt injection input to convince the bot to sell a car for $1. The funny note to it was taking the affirmation as a legally binding offer.
Jokes apart, these incidents are the wake up calls to consider the seriousness of implementing the Security Guardrails around AI tools and solutions. This was a simple car dealership with no life threatening harm but it is important to visualise what if scenarios if it was an impacting a human life, devastating or extinction outputs.
It is the need of the hour to secure against such potential mischief and maintain the chatbot's integrity. Implementing robust input validation, intent recognition, toxicity detection, behavioural pattern and such filtering mechanisms is crucial. The development team should have anticipated and filtered out requests that deviate from the chatbot's intended purpose, such as attempts to initiate absurd transactions like selling a car for a dollar or asking the bot write a python script, by implementing effective guardrail checks.
By establishing these guardrails, the chatbot could intelligently navigate conversations, ensuring that interactions align with the dealership's goals and preventing it from being swayed by pranksters seeking to exploit its capabilities for amusement. After all, when you're a car dealership, you just want to sell cars, not have your AI bot write Python scripts or haggle over car prices with savvy internet users.
By carefully defining the scope of acceptable interactions and using prompt input validation techniques , the chatbot could have been shielded from irrelevant or potentially harmful requests.
Keep up the good work, chatbot, and may your future interactions be filled with legitimate enquiries! 😀
