Safeguarding AI Agents: Developing and Analyzing Safety Architectures
- 用大模型构建输入输出过滤器,实时拦截危险指令
- 部署独立安全代理,全程监控并干预异常行为
- 采用分层委托机制,嵌入多级安全校验节点
AI代理(尤其由大语言模型驱动)在需要高精度与高效性的应用中展现出卓越能力,但其存在潜在的不安全或偏见行为、易受对抗攻击、透明度不足及生成幻觉等问题。随着这类代理在工业关键领域日益普及,建立有效的安全机制变得至关重要。本文针对与人类团队协作的AI系统,提出并评估了三种安全架构:基于大语言模型的输入输出过滤器、集成于系统的安全代理,以及带有内置安全检查的分层委托系统。通过在一系列不安全代理使用场景中实施并测试这些框架,全面评估其在缓解部署风险方面的有效性。结果表明,这些架构能显著提升AI代理系统的安全性与可靠性,减少潜在危害性行为或输出。本研究为自动化操作等场景中的安全应用提供支持,并奠定构建稳健防护机制的基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
AI agents, specifically powered by large language models, have demonstrated exceptional capabilities in various applications where precision and efficacy are necessary. However, these agents come with inherent risks, including the potential for unsafe or biased actions, vulnerability to adversarial attacks, lack of transparency, and tendency to generate hallucinations. As AI agents become more prevalent in critical sectors of the industry, the implementation of effective safety protocols becomes increasingly important. This paper addresses the critical need for safety measures in AI systems, especially ones that collaborate with human teams. We propose and evaluate three frameworks to enhance safety protocols in AI agent systems: an LLM-powered input-output filter, a safety agent integrated within the system, and a hierarchical delegation-based system with embedded safety checks. Our methodology involves implementing these frameworks and testing them against a set of unsafe agentic use cases, providing a comprehensive evaluation of their effectiveness in mitigating risks associated with AI agent deployment. We conclude that these frameworks can significantly strengthen the safety and security of AI agent systems, minimizing potential harmful actions or outputs. Our work contributes to the ongoing effort to create safe and reliable AI applications, particularly in automated operations, and provides a foundation for developing robust guardrails to ensure the responsible use of AI agents in real-world applications.
