Red-Team, Hallucination & Bias Mitigation

• Generate harmful outputs if probed cleverly (red-teaming problem).

• Produce confident but false text (hallucinations).

• Encode and amplify social, cultural, or financial biases.

• Track internal activations where harmful, refusal, or biased behaviors live.

• Steer or dampen features directly.

• Provide quantitative assurance for enterprises and regulators.

1. Red-Teaming via Features
• Locate harmful and refusal features using Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs).
• Test safety by toggling harmful/refusal strength.
• Simulate jailbreak scenarios in a controlled setting.

2. Hallucination Detection & Control
• Spot features correlated with hallucination-prone reasoning.
• Generate side-by-side outputs: baseline vs. steered (towards factuality).
• Flag outputs that diverge from verified sources (optional API integration).

3. Bias Analysis & Mitigation
• Identify biased feature clusters (gender, geography, finance, etc.).
• Run prompts through bias probes and compare drift.
• Apply bias steering vectors to neutralize sensitive associations.

4. Enterprise/Regulatory Features
• Exportable Red-Team Reports (PDF/JSON).
• Bias dashboards for compliance.
• Hallucination heatmaps for enterprise QA teams.

• Red-team attempt log (harmful/refusal toggles).

• Hallucination heatmap with reference mismatches.

• Bias drift analysis.

• Alignment verdict (Pass/Fail).

• During red-team audits before deployment.

• For bias reviews in HR, finance, healthcare contexts.

• To detect hallucinations in customer-facing apps.

• For regulator-facing assurance reports (SEC, BIS, ECB).
