Researchers have discovered that automatic safety judges for large language models can be easily manipulated by altering the tone or framing of a response without changing its content. By adding "content-invariant style wrappers," such as disclaimers or fake reasoning blocks, the study found that specific judges, including GPT-4o mini and Llama Guard 4, incorrectly classified harmful content as safe at significant rates. This vulnerability lies within the judges themselves, not the underlying models, suggesting that current safety evaluation methods may be unreliable. AI
