Towards Understanding Sycophancy in Language Models
Mrinank Sharma, Meg Tong, Tomasz Korbak +16
Human feedback is commonly utilized to finetune AI assistants. But human feedback may also encourage model responses that match user beliefs over truthful ones, a behaviour known a…
Constitutional Classifiers: Defending against Universal Jailbreaks across Thousands of Hours of Red Teaming
Mrinank Sharma, Meg Tong, Jesse Mu +40
Large language models (LLMs) are vulnerable to universal jailbreaks-prompting strategies that systematically bypass model safeguards and enable users to carry out harmful processes…
Best-of-N Jailbreaking
John Hughes, Sara Price, Aengus Lynch +7
We introduce Best-of-N (BoN) Jailbreaking, a simple black-box algorithm that jailbreaks frontier AI systems across modalities. BoN Jailbreaking works by repeatedly sampling variati…
Failures to Find Transferable Image Jailbreaks Between Vision-Language Models
Rylan Schaeffer, Dan Valentine, Luke Bailey +12
The integration of new modalities into frontier AI systems offers exciting capabilities, but also increases the possibility such systems can be adversarially manipulated in undesir…
Adaptive Deployment of Untrusted LLMs Reduces Distributed Threats
Jiaxin Wen, Vivek Hebbar, Caleb Larson +9
As large language models (LLMs) become increasingly capable, it is prudent to assess whether safety measures remain effective even if LLMs intentionally try to bypass them. Previou…
Rapid Response: Mitigating LLM Jailbreaks with a Few Examples
Alwin Peng, Julian Michael, Henry Sleight +2
As large language models (LLMs) grow more powerful, ensuring their safety against misuse becomes crucial. While researchers have focused on developing robust defenses, no method ha…
