In recent years, AI red teaming has emerged as a practice for probing the safety and security of generative AI systems. Due to the nascency of the field, there are many open questions about how red teaming operations should be conducted. Based on our experience red teaming over 100 generative AI products at Microsoft, we present our internal threat model ontology and eight main lessons we have learned: 1. Understand what the system can do and where it is applied 2. You don't have to compute gradients to break an AI system 3. AI red teaming is not safety benchmarking 4. Automation can help cover more of the risk landscape 5. The human element of AI red teaming is crucial 6. Responsible AI harms are pervasive but difficult to measure 7. LLMs amplify existing security risks and introduce new ones 8. The work of securing AI systems will never be complete By sharing these insights alongside case studies from our operations, we offer practical recommendations aimed at aligning red teaming efforts with real world risks. We also highlight aspects of AI red teaming that we believe are often misunderstood and discuss open questions for the field to consider.

  1. LLM in the Middle: A Systematic Review of Threats and Mitigations to Real-World LLM-based Systems

    cs.CR 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A systematic review that categorizes LLM threats, severity scores, and mitigations across development and operation life cycles and multiple deployment scenarios.

  2. Position: Stop Reactively Patching Your Model Every Time and Start Proactive Test-Driven AI Development

    cs.LG 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a stylized model, a proactive flywheel that fixes whole groups of related scenarios needs Θ(K log K) update rounds versus Θ(M log M) for reactive patching.

  3. A Multi-Domain Red Teaming Framework for Safety, Robustness, and Fairness Evaluation of Medical Large Language Models

    cs.CL 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Across 690 adversarial clinical scenarios, high mean LLM scores still hide zero-score safety failures, so variance and hybrid clinician scoring better indicate medical reliability than average accuracy.

  4. Decentralized Granular Access Control for Agentic AI Systems in Critical Infrastructure

    cs.AI 2026-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A layered, decentralized access-control system for AI agents, built on delegated human identity and deterministic playbooks, reports zero unauthorized writes over eight months in production.
