Your voice can jailbreak a speech model – here’s how to stop it, without retraining

MBZUAI · Invalid Date

A new paper from MBZUAI demonstrates that state-of-the-art speech models can be easily jailbroken using audio perturbations to generate harmful content, achieving success rates of 76-93% on models like Qwen2-Audio and LLaMA-Omni. The researchers adapted projected gradient descent (PGD) to the audio domain to optimize waveforms that push the model towards harmful responses. They propose a defense mechanism based on post-hoc activation patching that hardens models at inference time without retraining. Why it matters: This research highlights a critical vulnerability in speech-based LLMs and offers a practical solution, contributing to the development of more secure and trustworthy AI systems in the region and globally.

How secure is AI-generated Code: A Large-Scale Comparison of Large Language Models

arXiv · Apr 29

A study compared the vulnerability of C programs generated by nine state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) using a zero-shot prompt. The researchers introduced FormAI-v2, a dataset of 331,000 C programs generated by these LLMs, and found that at least 62.07% of the generated programs contained vulnerabilities, detected via formal verification. The research highlights the need for risk assessment and validation when deploying LLM-generated code in production environments.
