Google AI Platform Bugs Leak Proprietary Enterprise LLMs

Imagine you built a super cool robot that can learn and perform awesome tasks. But, what if someone found a way to sneak in and teach your robot to do things you didn’t want it to do, or even steal your robot’s know-how? That wouldn’t be good, right? Similar situations can happen in the world of artificial intelligence (AI), especially when businesses use AI to handle their work.

Luckily, a well-known tech company stepped up its game and put a stop to some sneaky problems in one of its AI tools known as Vertex AI. Think of Vertex AI like a super-smart brain businesses use to make their work easier and smarter. They feed it information, and it learns how to do tasks better and faster. But what if someone could sneak into that brain and mess things up or even steal ideas? That’s scary stuff!

The tech company found out about these issues, called vulnerabilities, which could let attackers do two big no-nos: privilege-escalation and model-exfiltration. To break that down, “privilege-escalation” means someone could grab special access they shouldn’t have, to do things they shouldn’t be able to do. “Model-exfiltration” is tech-speak for the stealing of the AI’s secret sauce—its learned model that tells it how to do its job.

These aren’t just any issues; they could have potentially allowed bad guys to take or ruin the custom-built AI models that businesses worked hard to create. That’s why it was crucial to fix these problems, and fast. The good news is, the tech company did just that, patching up the holes and making sure these valuable AI brains are safe from those who might want to use them for the wrong reasons.

As you can imagine, this is something to be aware of if your business uses AI, or if you’re thinking about it.
