IndicSafeEval is a new evaluation framework that tests the safety robustness of large language models against persuasion-based jailbreak attacks in Indian languages. The benchmark covers ten safety-critical content categories, six persuasive strategies, and four languages—Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, and Punjabi—producing 7,200 adversarial prompts. Experiments show that model safety varies significantly across languages, prompt styles, and risk categories, highlighting gaps in current English-centric safety assessments.

Safety alignment in large language models (LLMs) is largely developed in English, assuming these safeguards generalize across multilingual settings. However, this assumption remains underexplored and exposes a vulnerability in low-resource languages.
arXiv:2606. 25476v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across natural language processing tasks, yet their deployment in high-stakes applications raises critical concerns regarding reliability, safety, and trustworthiness.

ArGuard is a shared task that evaluates harmful content detection in Arabic memes and LLM prompts, featuring two tracks: Track A for multimodal hate detection in memes and Track B for harmful prompt detection in Arabic LLM safety evaluation. Fifty‑eight teams registered, 35 reached the final evaluation, and 27 submitted system‑description papers, with participants experimenting with models such as AraBERT, Jais, and Qwen3‑VL. The top systems achieved macro‑F1 scores of 0.823 on A1, 0.419 on A2, 0.984 on B1, and 0.790 on B2, with fine‑grained meme classification in A2 proving the most challenging due to sparse labels and distribution shifts.
