advanced Published 28 Apr 2026

Action Steps

Apply intention deception techniques to existing safety training approaches to test their robustness
Configure models to detect and respond to obfuscated user intent
Build refusal boundaries that account for uncertain or deceptive user intent
Test models using adversarial examples to evaluate their susceptibility to jailbreaking
Run experiments to compare the effectiveness of different safety training regimes in preventing jailbreaking

Title: Jailbreaking Frontier Foundation Models Through Intention Deception

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.24082v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large (vision-)language models exhibit remarkable capability but remain highly susceptible to jailbreaking. Existing safety training approaches aim to have the model learn a refusal boundary between safe and unsafe, based on the user's intent. It has been found that this binary training regime often leads to brittleness, since the user intent cannot reliably be evaluated, especially if the attacker obfuscates their intent, and also makes the syst
