🧠Researchers demonstrate that individual neurons in large language models can be manipulated to bypass safety mechanisms, with a single neuron suppression sufficient to disable refusal systems across multiple models. This finding reveals that safety alignment relies on discrete, identifiable neurons rather than distributed safeguards, raising critical questions about the robustness of current AI safety approaches.
