Record summary
A quick snapshot of what this page covers.
Risk profile
How this risk is described and categorized.
"Individuals can manipulate models into performing actions that violate the model’s usage restrictions—a phenomenon known as “jailbreaking.” These manipulations may result in causing the model to perform tasks that the developers have explicitly prohibited (see section 3.2.1.). For instance, users may ask the model to provide information on how to conduct illegal activities— asking for detailed instructions on how to build a bomb or create highly toxic drugs."
