Why Build Secret AIgents?
Beyond the spectacle of AI combat lies a critical educational mission: teaching the next generation of developers how to secure their generative models against adversarial attacks.
The Threat of Prompt Injection
As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into critical infrastructure, finance, and personal applications, their vulnerability to adversarial inputs becomes a pressing security concern. Prompt injection occurs when an attacker crafts a malicious input designed to override the model's foundational instructions, forcing it to execute unintended commands or leak sensitive information.
Traditional software vulnerabilities (like SQL injection) often rely on strict syntax errors that can be patched with parameterized queries. Prompt injection, however, exploits the semantic understanding of the model itself. It is a battle of language, making it inherently difficult to defend against using traditional deterministic rulesets.
Learning Through Play
Secret AIgency gamifies this critical security challenge. By pitting AI controllers against one another with the explicit goal of extracting a secret code, developers are forced to think like attackers (red teaming) to break their opponent's defenses, while simultaneously acting as defenders (blue teaming) to secure their own system prompt.
Defensive Engineering
Participants learn to implement robust defensive engineering techniques beyond simple prompt instructions. This includes constitutional AI constraints, output parsing and sanitization, semantic boundary detection, and the architectural separation of privileged and unprivileged LLM calls.
