Title: Jailbreaking large language models: attacks and defenses Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are typically aligned to be harmless to humans. Unfortunately, recent work has shown that such models are susceptible to automated jailbreak attacks that induce them to generate harmful content. As a result, more recent LLMs often incorporate an additional layer of defense, a Guard Model, which is a second LLM that is designed to check and moderate the output response of the primary LLM. We first review the strategy behind prior automated jailbreak attacks. Then, we discuss some of the recent work that shows that even guarded models are susceptible to jailbreaking. Finally, we discuss some future directions for research on more robust large language models. Biography: Atul Prakash is a Professor and Chair of Computer Science and Engineering Division at the University of Michigan with research interests in computer security and privacy and machine learning. He received a Bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering from IIT, Delhi and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley. His recent research work is focusing on the vulnerability of deep learning and large language models and making these models robust. At the University of Michigan, he has served as Director of the Software Systems Lab, led the creation of the new Data Science undergraduate program, and is currently serving as the Chair of the CSE Division. |
