Red Teaming AI Red Teaming
Current AI red-teaming practices overemphasize model-level vulnerabilities while neglecting emergent risks arising from interactions among models, users, and socio-technical environments—resulting in governance lagging behind the real-world deployment of generative AI. Method: We propose a “two-tiered red-teaming framework”: a macro-level tier spanning the AI lifecycle and integrating technical, organizational, and societal dimensions; and a micro-level tier preserving model-specific vulnerability detection. Our approach synthesizes systems theory, cybersecurity practice, and interdisciplinary collaboration to establish a dynamic, multi-layered risk identification and assessment system. Contribution/Results: This work is the first to institutionalize systems thinking in AI red-teaming, delivering an actionable implementation framework and practical guidelines. It shifts AI governance from isolated defect detection toward holistic, systemic risk mitigation—advancing proactive, context-aware safety assurance for deployed generative AI systems.
