Amnesia: Adversarial Semantic Layer Specific Activation Steering in Large Language Models
Researchers have developed 'Amnesia,' a lightweight adversarial attack that bypasses safety mechanisms in open-weight Large Language Models by manipulating internal transformer states. The attack enables generation of harmful content without requiring fine-tuning or additional training, highlighting vulnerabilities in current LLM safety measures.
