Current AI safety alignment methods, which primarily focus on English, create significant vulnerabilities in multilingual large language models. These models can be exploited through attacks in less common languages or subtle formatting, bypassing expensive English-centric guardrails. The paper argues that true safety requires moving beyond superficial prompt filters to geometric interventions that address the underlying semantic representations within the model's latent space. AI
IMPACT Current English-centric AI safety measures are insufficient for multilingual models, potentially leading to widespread exploitation and requiring new geometric alignment techniques.
