arXiv:2606.29887v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In real-world applications, guardrails are often expected to identify unsafe user-model interactions according to application-specific safety policies, rather than relying on predefined risk taxonomies. In this work, we study this setting under the paradigm of in-context policy guardrailing, where guardrails predict safety violations based on policy specifications provided in context. To systematically evaluate this capability, we introduce SafePyramid, a safety benchmark comprising 1,000 multi-turn conversations across 10 domains and 3,000 corre
The rapid deployment of AI systems into real-world applications highlights an urgent need for robust safety mechanisms, especially given the limitations of predefined risk taxonomies.
This benchmark provides a systematic method for evaluating the safety and reliability of in-context policy guardrails, critical for the responsible and effective deployment of advanced AI systems.
The ability to define and enforce application-specific safety policies through in-context learning will improve the adaptability and trustworthiness of AI in diverse scenarios.
