The authors argue that images are continuous and high-dimensional, which makes them much easier to manipulate adversarially than discrete text. Because these models can do so many things, a successful attack can do more than cause a… 2. **[Assessing the Brittleness of Safety Alignment via Pruning and Low-Rank Modifications](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wei-2024-assessing-brittleness-safety-alignment-pruning/)** *(2024 · 66 citations)* Aligned LLMs can be jailbroken or lose their safeguards even after harmless fine-tuning. The authors ask whether this fragility can be traced to specific parts of the weights. Using the Llama2-chat family, they attribute behaviour to individual neurons and to low-rank components of weight matrices. They use two… ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Visual Adversarial Examples Jailbreak Aligned Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/qi-2023-visual-adversarial-examples-jailbreak-aligned/) [Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/proceedings-of-the-aaai-conference-on-artificial-intelligence/)**Xiangyu Qi, Kaixuan Huang, Ashwinee Panda, et al.*2023 · 240 citations* 2. **[CRISPR-GPT for Agentic Automation of Gene-editing Experiments ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.18021) arXiv:2404.18021 · no summary yet**Yuanhao Qu et al.*2024 · 163 citations* 3.
