The paper introduces MOSAIC, a large adversarial benchmark for detecting AI-generated text, and presents NeuroStat, a new framework that combines token‑level probabilistic logits with deep semantic hidden states from a single language model. NeuroStat fuses these signals via Macro‑State Residual Modulation and uses orthogonal and contrastive losses to learn complementary representations. Experiments show that NeuroStat outperforms existing methods on MOSAIC, achieving superior robustness against adversarial attacks.

The paper identifies a vulnerability in large language models where harmful intent can be hidden within benign narratives, a phenomenon termed Semantic Camouflage. By examining latent activation patterns across several small language model families, the authors discover an "Intent Horizon"—a layer depth where harmful intent representations collapse. They propose Latent Intent Verification (LIV), a lightweight probing defense that detects harmful intent in early layers and outperforms existing guardrails on the PKU-SafeRLHF dataset.

Safety-aligned large language models are trained to refuse harmful requests, yet embedding the same requests in particular scenarios can bypass their safeguards. Existing red-teaming methods empirically identify effective scenarios through observed attack outcomes, but why particular scenarios weaken refusal remains mechanistically unclear.
