New benchmark Uni-SafeBench evaluates safety of unified multimodal AI models

Researchers have introduced Uni-SafeBench, a new safety benchmark designed to evaluate Unified Multimodal Large Models (UMLMs). These models integrate both understanding and generation capabilities within a single architecture, but their safety implications are not well-understood. Uni-SafeBench addresses this gap by categorizing safety across six areas and seven task types, using a framework called Uni-Judger to distinguish between contextual and intrinsic safety. Initial evaluations indicate that current unified models may not consistently retain the safety alignment of their base LLMs, and open-source UMLMs show lower safety performance compared to specialized multimodal models, particularly in generation tasks.
