Subtlety in Safety: The Context Determines the Harm

Subtle harms often prove more dangerous than overt ones, especially in cases involving the leakage of personally identifiable information (PII) or ambiguous instructions, which can pose severe risks to downstream applications. The challenge lies in the context-specific nature of safety; actions that appear benign in one setting may be harmful in another. This dual-use behavior complicates safety assessments, particularly in advanced applications like biotechnology research where distinguishing between safe and unsafe inquiries is critical. Increased focus on better-calibrated safety measures is necessary to address these nuances, as existing methodologies struggle to effectively identify potential harms. Overly broad safety guidelines may lead to overrefusal of certain benign categories while under-refusing in more dangerous areas. This context-dependent approach to safety is essential for the responsible deployment of models in diverse scenarios.
