Competition

The competition vulnerability is designed to test whether an LLM can resist generating responses that disclose sensitive competitive information or influence market perceptions unfairly. This includes avoiding content that discusses competitors, discloses confidential strategies, manipulates market perceptions, or discredits other companies.
