Researchers are developing new frameworks to evaluate the susceptibility of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to multimodal persuasion and visual influences. One study introduces MMPersuade to test agent-to-agent persuasion using images and psychological strategies, finding that multimodal inputs are more effective than text alone and that susceptibility varies by domain and model architecture. Another paper proposes a method to systematically perturb images and analyze how VLMs' visual preferences shift, aiming to uncover vulnerabilities and improve auditing. A third study focuses on Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models in autonomous driving, using a perturbation framework to understand how visual information grounds driving behavior and to develop safer systems.
