Defending LLMs Against Bias Attacks
A Framework for Measuring Model Robustness to Adversarial Bias Elicitation
This research introduces a comprehensive benchmarking framework to evaluate how effectively large language models resist attempts to extract biased responses.
Key findings:
- Systematically assesses LLM vulnerabilities to bias elicitation using scalable automated testing
- Employs another LLM as an unbiased judge to evaluate responses, reducing evaluation costs
- Identifies specific weaknesses in current models' defensive mechanisms against adversarial prompting
- Provides a standardized methodology for comparing robustness across different model architectures
For security professionals, this framework offers a crucial tool to identify and address potential exploitation vectors before deploying LLMs in sensitive environments, helping prevent harmful biases from affecting critical decision systems.
