Prompt Injection as Role Confusion: Rethinking Agent Security

What if prompt injection isn’t just a security problem, but a problem of role confusion?

Join the Agentic AI Foundation community for an informal reading group exploring the paper “Prompt Injection as Role Confusion.”

We’ll read through the paper together with a moderator guiding the discussion, unpacking its key ideas, challenging assumptions, and exploring what the role-confusion framing means for building safer AI agents and systems.

This is not a formal presentation or lecture. It’s a community conversation: bring your questions, interpretations, disagreements, and ideas. We’ll leave plenty of room for open discussion and constructive debate.

If you’ve read the paper already, come ready to share your perspective. If you haven’t, you’re still welcome, we’ll work through it together.

We’ll explore:

1. What prompt injection looks like through the lens of role confusion
2. The core arguments and assumptions in the paper
3. How this framing changes the way we think about agent security
4. Questions and challenges from the community
5. What this could mean for the design of future AI agents and systems

Come curious. Bring questions. Let’s read the paper together and see where the discussion takes us.
