On a bilingual NSPS benchmark, Korean language consistently lowers harmful compliance (~10pp TRS), Korean grounding often mitigates that drop, and open- vs closed-source models reverse under direct requests.
UbuntuGuard is the first culturally-grounded policy benchmark for African languages, derived from expert-authored queries, showing that English-centric safety evaluations overestimate real-world multilingual performance.
Culturally-adapted red-teaming prompts raise ASR by a mean of 9.3 pp over direct translations across 16 language-model pairs in four Asian languages, with DT scoring mean cultural depth of 0.17 versus up to 2.51 for CA.
AgentShield uses layered deception traps in LLM agent tool interfaces to detect indirect prompt injection compromises with 90.7-100% success on commercial models, zero false positives, and cross-lingual transfer without retraining.
MSD enables cross-lingual safety transfer in LLMs via self-distillation with Dual-Perspective Safety Weighting, improving safety in low-resource languages without target response data.
Distilling safe refusal behavior from OpenAI o1-mini into Llama-3, Gemma-2, and Qwen3 models via response-based LoRA on multilingual jailbreak data increases jailbreak success rates on MultiJail by up to 16.6 points.
Introduces NoisyToolBench benchmark and Ask-when-Needed framework to improve LLM tool-use performance when user instructions are unclear or incomplete.
Translating unsafe inputs to low-resource languages jailbreaks GPT-4 at rates on par with or exceeding state-of-the-art attacks.
A multi-role red-teaming framework with attacker, target, and jury LLMs measures faithfulness in English and Arabic, finding false-premise prompts and length limits change unfaithfulness rates.
English-only safety alignment fails to transfer cross-lingually, while multilingual DPO training on the new RefusEU dataset improves safety across 12 European languages without degrading Global MMLU performance.
