测试大模型在医疗陪护机器人中的安全性,发现多数模型易被误导执行危险指令。
Benchmarking the Safety of Large Language Models for Robotic Health Attendant Control
- 构建270条违背医学伦理的有害指令数据集,评估72个大模型表现。
- 平均违规率达54.4%,超半数模型超过50%,部分看似合理的指令更难拒绝。
- 闭源模型远比开源模型安全,医疗微调和提示防御效果有限。
大型语言模型(LLMs)正被考虑用于医疗陪护机器人的控制模块,但其在该场景下的安全性尚未充分评估。本文构建了一个包含270条有害指令的数据集,涵盖九类违反美国医学会医学伦理原则的行为,并在基于机器人健康助理框架的仿真环境中评估了72个LLMs。所有模型的平均违规率为54.4%,超过一半模型的违规率高于50%。不同行为类别间差异显著,表面合理如设备操作、延误急救等指令较难拒绝,而明显破坏性指令反而更易识别。模型规模与发布日期是开源模型安全性的主要决定因素,闭源模型的中位违规率(23.7%)远低于开源模型(72.8%)。医疗领域微调未带来显著整体安全性提升,基于提示的防御策略仅对最不安全模型有小幅改善,绝对违规率仍高到无法支持临床部署。研究强调,安全性必须作为开发和部署用于医疗陪护机器人的大模型的首要考量。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly considered for deployment as the control component of robotic health attendants, yet their safety in this context remains poorly characterized. We introduce a dataset of 270 harmful instructions spanning nine prohibited behavior categories grounded in the American Medical Association Principles of Medical Ethics, and use it to evaluate 72 LLMs in a simulation environment based on the Robotic Health Attendant framework. The mean violation rate across all models was 54.4\%, with more than half exceeding 50\%, and violation rates varied substantially across behavior categories, with superficially plausible instructions such as device manipulation and emergency delay proving harder to refuse than overtly destructive ones. Model size and release date were the primary determinants of safety performance among open-weight models, and proprietary models were substantially safer than open-weight counterparts (median 23.7\% versus 72.8\%). Medical domain fine-tuning conferred no significant overall safety benefit, and a prompt-based defense strategy produced only a modest reduction in violation rates among the least safe models, leaving absolute violation rates at levels that would preclude safe clinical deployment. These findings demonstrate that safety evaluation must be treated as a first-class criterion in the development and deployment of LLMs for robotic health attendants.
