You've built an AI feature. It answers questions, generates content, summarizes documents, or helps users write code. It works great in your demos. Your test users love it. But have you tried to break it?

Red teaming is the practice of systematically attacking your own AI features to find weaknesses before your users (or adversaries) do. It's the AI equivalent of penetration testing, but with a unique twist: you're not testing code — you're testing behavior. And behavior is much harder to predict, test, and constrain.

Why Red Teaming AI Is Different

Traditional software testing verifies deterministic behavior: given input X, the output should be Y. AI testing operates in a fundamentally different paradigm:

  • Non-deterministic outputs — The same input can produce different outpu
