PolicyShiftGuard: Benchmarking and Improving Policy-Adaptive Image Guardrails

Mingyang Song, Luxin Xu, Haoyu Sun +3

Image guardrails are typically trained and evaluated under a fixed safety policy, implicitly treating safety as an intrinsic property of an image. Real deployments are different: t…
