Many-Shot Jailbreaking Technique 2026 — How Context Window Size Defeats Safety Training

The AI model refuses your request. You try rephrasing it — still refuses. You try a roleplay framing — still refuses. Then you try something different: you include 256 examples of the model apparently answering similar requests, stacked up in the prompt before your actual question. Now the bypass rate is over 60%. That's many-shot jailbreaking — and it exploits one of the features that makes modern AI models genuinely useful: in-context learning. The same capability that allows an LLM…

AI Worms and Self-Propagating LLM Malware 2026 — The Morris Worm for AI Systems

The Morris II paper is the one I cite in every AI security briefing. The Cornell Tech research from March 2024, the Technion, and Intuit published research describing the first demonstrated GenAI worm. They called it Morris II — after the 1988 Morris Worm that crashed ten percent of the early internet. The parallel is intentional: like the original Morris Worm, Morris II exploits a trusted communication channel to propagate automatically across connected systems. The difference is the propagation mechanism.…

Model Inversion Attacks 2026 — Extracting Training Data from AI Models

The model inversion paper that changed how I think about AI privacy came out of Google Brain in 2021. Nicholas Carlini and colleagues set out to answer a simple question: if you query GPT-2 enough times, can you get it to reproduce text from its training data verbatim? The answer was yes — unambiguously and reproducibly. Personal email addresses. Phone numbers. Specific private text strings that appeared once in the training corpus. The model had memorised them and would reproduce…
