OpenAI is running a red-teaming competition on multi-step tool attacks against AI agents
Megan Risdal says that 11 years ago @gdb was using Kaggle to learn AI/ML, and now OpenAI is running a competition aimed at finding weaknesses in AI agents that use tools over multiple steps.
She frames it as a timely effort to advance agent security and says she is excited to see what OpenAI and the broader community learn from it.
