# A faster, better way to prevent an AI chatbot from giving toxic responses

**[MIT News](https://daily.dev/sources/mit)** · 5 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Researchers have developed a machine learning technique to improve red-teaming for large language models. By training a red-team model to generate diverse prompts that elicit toxic responses from a chatbot, they achieved better coverage and effectiveness compared to human testers and other automated methods. The method provides a faster and more effective way to ensure the safety of language models, which is crucial given the rapidly changing environment of AI.
