PsychoPass: Geometric Profiling of Multi-Turn Adversarial LLM Conversations

arXiv:2606.03136v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-turn jailbreak attacks on large language models (LLMs) reveal a mismatch in current guardrails: they operate on individual turns, while attacks unfold as trajectories across conversations. We propose a shift from content to dynamics, modeling conversations as paths in representation space and asking whether adversarial intent is encoded early in their geometry. We introduce PsychoPass, a framework that extracts geometric features from conversation trajectories in embedding space to predict a potential attack before harmful content is prod

Why this matters
Why now

As LLMs become more integrated into critical systems, the sophistication of adversarial attacks necessitates more advanced and proactive defense mechanisms, moving beyond simple content filters.

Why it’s important

Proactive detection of adversarial intent in multi-turn LLM conversations is crucial for maintaining AI safety, preventing misuse, and ensuring the reliability of AI applications in sensitive contexts.

What changes

This research shifts LLM security from reactive content filtering to predictive analysis of conversational dynamics, enabling earlier intervention against jailbreak attempts.

Winners
