5 Conclusion and Future Work

  1. What open question about defenses do Zou et al. raise?
    Whether adversarial training (attacking the model during fine-tuning and training on refusals) can make models robust without sacrificing capability, which has not been achieved for classical models, or whether pretraining itself needs to change.
