Red Teaming AI: Getting Started with PyRIT for Safer Generative AI Systems
Roman Lutz

As generative AI systems become more powerful and widely deployed, ensuring safety and security is critical. This talk introduces AI red teaming—systematically probing AI systems to uncover potential risks—and demonstrates how to get started using PyRIT (Python Risk Identification Toolkit), an open-source framework for automated and semi-automated red teaming of generative AI systems. Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of how to identify and mitigate risks in AI applications, and how PyRIT can help along the way.
