In 2023, I partnered with OpenAI, ScaleAI, &amp; Hugging Face to launch HackAPrompt—the 1st &amp; Largest Generative AI Red Teaming Competition ever held. Over 3,300 AI hackers competed to bypass model guardrails using prompt injections—the #1 Security Risk in LLMs. We collected the Largest Dataset of Prompt Injection attacks, which has been used by every major Frontier AI Lab, including OpenAI, who used it to improve their models' resistance to Prompt Injection Attacks by up to 46%. Today, I've delivered workshops on AI Red Teaming &amp; Prompting at OpenAI, Microsoft, Deloitte, &amp; Stanford University. And because I love to teach... I created this course to teach you everything I know about AI Red Teaming! About the Course: This 4-week Masterclass is the #1 AI Security course for Cybersecurity Professionals, AI Trust &amp; Safety leads, AI product managers, and engineers who want to master AI Red Teaming and secure AI systems against real-world threats. You’ll gain hands-on experience identifying vulnerabilities in Generative AI systems, including prompt injections, jailbreaks, and adversarial attacks. Using the HackAPrompt playground, you’ll practice both attacking and defending AI systems—learning how to break them and how to secure them. This course is practical, not just theoretical. You’ll work on real-world projects, analyzing live AI systems for vulnerabilities. These projects prepare you for the AI Red Teaming Certified Professional (AIRTP+) Exam, a 24+ hour assessment that validates your AI security expertise. Our last cohort included 150 professionals from Microsoft, Google, Capital One, IBM, ServiceNow, and Walmart. Graduates passed the certification exam and are now AIRTP+ certified, applying their skills to secure AI systems worldwide. About Your Instructor: I’m Sander Schulhoff, the Founder of Learn Prompting &amp; HackAPrompt. In October 2022, I published the 1st Prompt Engineering Guide on the Internet—two months before ChatGPT was released. Since then, my courses have trained over 3 million people, and I’m one of two people (other than Andrew Ng) to partner with OpenAI on a ChatGPT course. I’ve led Prompt Engineering workshops at OpenAI, Microsoft, Stanford, Deloitte, and Dropbox. I’m an award-winning Generative AI researcher from the University of Maryland and the youngest recipient of the Best Paper Award at EMNLP 2023, the leading NLP Conference, selected out of 20,000 submitted research papers. My research paper on HackAPrompt, Ignore This Title and HackAPrompt, has been by cited by OpenAI in three major research papers: Instruction Hierarchy, Automated Red Teaming, and Adversarial Robustness papers. I created HackAPrompt, the first and largest Generative AI Red Teaming competition. Most recently, I led a team from OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Stanford on The Prompt Report—the most comprehensive study on Prompt Engineering to date. This 76-page survey analyzed over 1,500 academic papers, evaluating the effectiveness of prompting techniques, AI agents, and Generative AI applications. In addition to myself, you'll learn from top experts in Generative AI, Cybersecurity, and AI Red Teaming in our Pre-Recorded &amp; Live Lectures, who will provide their unique perspective: • Pliny the Prompter: The most renowned AI Jailbreaker, who has successfully jailbroken every major AI model—including OpenAI’s o1, which hasn’t even been made public! Pliny also jailbroke an AI agent to autonomously sign into Gmail, code ransomware, compress it into a zip file, write a phishing email, attach the payload, and successfully deliver it to a target• Jason Haddix: A bug bounty hunter with over 20-years of experience in cybersecurity as the CISO of Ubisoft, Head of Trust/Security/Operations at Bugcrowd, Director of Penetration Testing at HP, and Lead Penetration Tester at Redspin.• Richard Lundeen: Principal Software Engineering Lead for Microsoft’s AI Red Team and maintainer of Microsoft PyRit.

Johann discovered attack vectors like ASCII Smuggling and AI-powered C2 (Command and Control) attacks. He has also found Bug Bounties in OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot Chat, Anthropic Claude, and Google Bard/Gemini. Johann will be sharing unreleased research that he hasn’t yet published on his blog, embracethered.com.• Joseph Thacker: Principal AI Engineer at AppOmni, leading AI research on agentic functionality and retrieval systems. A security researcher specializing in application security and AI, Joseph has submitted over 1,000 vulnerabilities across HackerOne and Bugcrowd. He hacked into Google Bard at their LLM Bug Bounty event and took 1st place in the competition.• Valen Tagliabue: An AI researcher, data analyst, and prompt engineer specializing in NLP and cognitive science. His expertise includes LLM evaluation, safety, and alignment, with a strong focus on human-AI collaboration. He was part of the winning team in HackAPrompt2023, an AI safety competition backed by industry leaders like Hugging Face, Scale AI, and OpenAI.• David Williams-King: As a co-founder of Elpha Secure and a research scientist at MILA,&nbsp;David Williams-King seamlessly bridges the gap between AI Security and&nbsp;pure&nbsp;cybersecurity. He has researched under the Turing Prize winning Joshua Bengio on his Safe AI For Humanity team.• Akshat Parikh: Former AI security researcher at a startup backed by OpenAI and DeepMind researchers. Ranked Top 21 in JP Morgan’s Bug Bounty Hall of Fame and Top 250 in Google’s Bug Bounty Hall of Fame—all by the age of 16.• Leonard Tang: Founder and CEO of Haize Labs, an AI safety and evaluation startup based in New York City. Leonard holds Math and CS Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Harvard University and left his Stanford University CS PhD program to start Haize.
