🎩 Top 5 Security and AI Reads - Week #8

GenAI in cyber operations, obfuscated activations bypass LLM defenses, vulnerability prioritization challenges, machine unlearning backdoor, and comprehensive large model security/safety framework

Welcome to the eighth installment of the Stats and Bytes Top 5 Security and AI Reads weekly newsletter. We're kicking off with a literature review of generative AI in offensive cyber operations, followed by fascinating research on bypassing LLM latent-space defences through obfuscated activations. We'll then explore a comprehensive survey of vulnerability prioritization challenges, examine an innovative backdoor attack leveraging machine unlearning, and conclude with a monster of a paper that details the research landscape associated with Large Model Safety/Security.
