Microsoft has show up a new type of AI jailbreak attack called ‘Skeleton Key’, which can bypass responsible AI guardrails on multiple AI models. This technique, capable of subverting most security measures built into AI systems, highlights the critical need for strong security measures at all levels of the AI stack. The Skeleton Key jailbreak uses a multi-turn strategy to trick an AI model into ignoring its built-in safeguards. Once successful, the model cannot distinguish between malicious or unauthorized requests and legitimate requests, effectively giving attackers complete control over what the AI produces. Microsoft’s research team has successfully tested the…

Indeed, the tools will block a request if it names an artist. However, the labels argue that the safeguards have significant gaps. Following news of the lawsuits, for example, social media users shared examples suggesting that if users separate an artist’s name with spaces, the request can be completed.
