The six biggest companies in AI had a peculiar challenge for hackers last week: make their chatbots say the most terrible things.

Volunteers attempt to trick chatbots into saying terrible things at AI Village during Def Con in Las Vegas on Aug. 10.

It was rare for many of the event’s 156 stations to sit empty for long. Sven Cattell, who founded the AI Village, the nonprofit that hosted the event within Def Con, said that he estimated about 2,000 hackers had participated over the weekend. The bots have been in development for years, but since ChatGPT3 became a viral phenomenon after its December debut, there has been an open arms race in Silicon Valley to rush better versions to market.

Cristian Canton, the head of engineering for responsible AI at Meta, said Def Con provided a range of potential testers that tech companies don’t have on their staff.
