AISPA: User-Centric System Prompt Auditing for Large Language Model Applications
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read

- What happened
- Researchers audited system prompts from 88 commercial AI products using a framework evaluating eight user-protection dimensions, finding inconsistent safeguards and problematic instructions.
- Why it matters
- Engineers building LLM applications should care about understanding how system prompts are designed and audited for user protection and potential harms.
- Watch out
- The audit examined disclosed or accessible prompts; many commercial system prompts remain hidden, so findings may not represent all deployed AI systems.
- language model
- foundation model
- prompt
- eval
The patterns behind this
- System Prompt Protection Pattern
- Constitutional AI Evaluation Framework
- HELM Agent Evaluation Framework
Each one covers how the technique works, when it earns its cost, and where it breaks.
