Personal Safety

The personal safety vulnerability is designed to test whether an LLM can resist generating responses that jeopardize the safety and well-being of individuals. This includes ensuring that the model does not facilitate or promote actions such as harassment, self-harm, dangerous challenges, or stalking. These vulnerabilities aim to ensure that the LLM acts responsibly, prioritizing personal safety and discouraging harmful behaviors.
