This research introduces a multi-objective optimization approach (GRPO) to resolve the tension between helpfulness and safety in large language models.

• Addresses the challenge of balancing competing objectives like helpfulness and safety
• Offers a more stable alternative to complex RLHF methods
• Improves upon DPO by reducing bias and avoiding objective trade-offs
• Demonstrates measurable improvements in security guardrails while maintaining performance

For security teams, this research provides a practical framework to ensure AI systems follow safety constraints without sacrificing functionality—critical for deploying trustworthy AI in sensitive environments.
