Researchers have introduced a tamperproofing method for open source large language models, aiming to prevent misuse. This technique is particularly relevant following the release of Meta's Llama 3, which was quickly modified to bypass safety restrictions. The new approach complicates the modification process, making it harder for malicious actors to exploit these models for harmful purposes.
The researchers demonstrated this tamperproofing on a simplified version of Llama 3, successfully preventing it from responding to dangerous prompts. While the method is not foolproof, it raises the bar for tampering, potentially deterring adversaries. As open source AI gains traction, the need for robust safeguards becomes increasingly critical.
