Overview

  • The paper proposes RedCode, a benchmark for evaluating the safety of code generation and execution by AI-powered code agents.
  • RedCode consists of two components: RedCode-Exec and RedCode-Gen.
  • RedCode-Exec tests the ability of code agents to recognize and handle unsafe code, while RedCode-Gen assesses whether agents will generate harmful code when given certain prompts.
  • The benchmark is designed to provide comprehensive and practical evaluations on the safety of code agents, which is a critical concern for their real-world deployment.
