Omni-SafetyBench: A Benchmark for Safety Evaluation of Audio-Visual Large Language Models

Omni‑SafetyBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate the safety of Omni‑Modal Large Language Models (OLLMs) that process visual, auditory, and textual data. It contains 23,328 test instances across 24 modality variations derived from 972 seed samples, and introduces metrics such as Safety‑score (based on Conditional Attack Success Rate and Conditional Refusal Rate) and Cross‑Modal Safety Consistency score. Evaluation of 11 state‑of‑the‑art OLLMs shows severe vulnerabilities, with only three models achieving a Safety‑score above 0.6 and safety degrading sharply for audio‑visual inputs, underscoring the need for improved safety alignment methods.
