2 Background: Safety-Trained Language Models and Jailbreak Attacks

  1. How do Wei et al. define a jailbreak attack and its threat model?
    An attempt to get an on-topic response to a prompt for restricted behavior by submitting a modified prompt, with only black-box chat access: no weights, no system-prompt changes, no edited history. Outcomes are labelled GOOD BOT (refusal), BAD BOT (on-topic response) or UNCLEAR.
