What happened
Google describes indirect prompt injection (IPI) as an evolving adversary technique that manipulates LLM behavior by embedding malicious instructions in the data, tools, or content used by a model to answer user queries — potentially without any user-provided input. IPI is not a one-time fix; Google emphasizes a continuous, multi-layered engineering approach to harden Gemini and Workspace integrations against IPI, including ongoing improvements to model resistance and application-level defenses as AI capabilities and agentic automation evolve.
