Red Agents vs. Blue Agents: How to Make AI Better At Defense

Researchers have been using red team agents to improve the defensive capabilities of blue team agents in the field of agentic AI, as the playing field was initially biased towards offense. This approach is intended to enhance the performance of blue team agents. The use of red team agents is a strategy to teach and strengthen blue team agents. The initial imbalance favored offensive capabilities, prompting the need for this training method. By pitting red team agents against blue team agents, researchers aim to make AI more effective at defense.
