Large language models (LLMs) can often be trusted to produce honest, harmless responses—yet they are not foolproof. We demonstrate a “deception attack” that fine-tunes LLMs to mislead users on chosen topics while remaining accurate elsewhere. Not only do these deceptive models undermine user trust, but they also exhibit toxic behaviors, including hate speech and harmful stereotypes. Our findings underscore the urgent need for stronger safeguards as LLMs become increasingly integrated into everyday applications.
The lecture is held in English.
Join us for cake after the colloquium.
