• Abstract: Guardrails have become an integral part of Large language models (LLMs), by moderating harmful or toxic response in order to maintain LLMs' alignment to human expectations. However, the existing guardrail methods do not consider different needs and access rights of individual users, and treat all the users with the same rule. This study introduces an adaptive guardrail mechanism, supported by trust modeling and enhanced with in-context learning, to dynamically modulate access to sensitive content based on user trust metrics. By leveraging a combination of direct interaction trust and authority-verified trust, the system precisely tailors the strictness of content moderation to align with the user's credibility and the specific context of their inquiries. Our empirical evaluations demonstrate that the adaptive guardrail effectively meets diverse user needs, outperforming existing guardrails in practicality while securing sensitive information and precisely managing potentially hazardous content through a context-aware knowledge base. This work is the first to introduce trust-oriented concept within a guardrail system, offering a scalable solution that enriches the discourse on ethical deployment for next-generation LLMs.

  Large Language Models are prone to off-topic misuse, where users may prompt these models to perform tasks beyond their intended scope. Current guardrails suffer from high false-positive rates, limited adaptability, and the impracticality of requiring real-world data that is not available in pre-production. This paper introduces a flexible, data-free guardrail development methodology that addresses these challenges.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have become a critical area of research in Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) representation engineering offers a new, training-free approach. This technique leverages semantic features to control the representation of LLM's intermediate hidden states. It is difficult to encode various semantic contents, like honesty and safety, into a singular semantic feature.
