Sound Probabilistic Safety Bounds for Large Language Models
Mahdi Nazeri, Anne-Kathrin Schmuck, Sadegh Soudjani, Alessandro Abate
We propose a novel framework for computing rigorous bounds on the probability that a large language model (LLM) generates harmful output to a given prompt. We study a new application of the Clopper-Pearson confidence intervals to obtain probably approximately correct (PAC) bounds…
