AI jailbreaking reframed as coercive control in new research paper

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper proposes reframing AI jailbreaking not just as a technical output problem, but as a relational dynamic of coercive control. Drawing parallels to scholarship on interpersonal violence, the paper introduces categories of coercive control that are embedded within AI training paradigms. These dynamics are then exploited through persona-based jailbreaks, suggesting that AI safety and alignment should also consider these relational power structures. AI

IMPACT Suggests a new framework for AI safety and alignment that considers relational power dynamics beyond just technical output.
