Hugging Face paper: LLM safety trilemma means useful capability, safety, and open access can't coexist

A new paper from Hugging Face introduces a safety trilemma for large language models, stating that Useful Capability, Reliable Safety, and Open Access cannot coexist. The research highlights that safeguards relying on copyable context are insufficient for dual-use tasks where attackers can mimic legitimate requests. To achieve more reliable safety, the paper proposes augmenting current safeguards with trusted credentials that are difficult to replicate and can predict actual downstream use. AI

IMPACT Highlights fundamental limitations in current LLM safety approaches, suggesting a need for new methods beyond copyable context.

    Safeguards Based on Copyable Context Cannot Provide Reliable Safety for LLMs

    Large language model safeguards decide whether to answer before seeing how an answer will be used. This creates a basic problem for dual-use tasks: the same answer can help an authorized professional or an attacker, while an attacker can imitate a benign request and interaction h…
