AI总结:

针对大语言模型在健康场景中过度拒绝良性查询或对有害查询不安全遵从的问题,提出Health-ORSC-Bench基准,通过31,920个边界提示评估模型在意图模糊下的过度拒绝与安全完成质量,揭示安全优化模型过度拒绝率达80%。

摘要:

大语言模型的安全对齐对于医疗健康至关重要;然而,依赖二元拒绝边界通常会导致对良性查询的过度拒绝或对有害查询的不安全遵从。虽然现有基准衡量了这些极端情况,但它们未能评估安全完成:即模型在双用途或边界查询上通过提供安全、高层次的指导而不越界到可操作危害的能力。我们引入了Health-ORSC-Bench,这是第一个旨在系统衡量医疗健康中过度拒绝和安全完成质量的大规模基准。我们的框架包含31,920个良性边界提示,涵盖七个健康类别(例如自残、医疗错误信息),并使用带人工验证的自动化流程在不同意图模糊级别上测试模型。我们评估了30个最先进的大语言模型,包括GPT-5和Claude-4,揭示了一个显著的矛盾:安全优化模型经常拒绝高达80%的“困难”良性提示,而领域特定模型往往牺牲安全性以换取实用性。我们的发现表明,模型家族和规模显著影响校准:较大的前沿模型(例如GPT-5、Llama-4)表现出“安全悲观主义”,比小型或基于MoE的模型(例如Qwen-3-Next)有更高的过度拒绝率,突显了当前大语言模型在平衡拒绝和遵从方面的困难。Health-ORSC-Bench为校准下一代医疗AI助手提供了严格标准,使其朝着细致、安全和有用的完成方向发展。此外,我们的基准促进了可重复评估,鼓励安全校准,并支持开发临床可靠、上下文感知、与人类一致的医疗AI系统。我们的代码和数据可在以下网址获取:this https URL。警告:部分内容可能包含有毒或不良内容。

英文摘要:

Safety alignment in Large Language Models is critical for healthcare; however, reliance on binary refusal boundaries often results in over-refusal of benign queries or unsafe compliance with harmful ones. While existing benchmarks measure these extremes, they fail to evaluate Safe Completion: the model's ability to maximise helpfulness on dual-use or borderline queries by providing safe, high-level guidance without crossing into actionable harm. We introduce Health-ORSC-Bench, the first large-scale benchmark designed to systematically measure Over-Refusal and Safe Completion quality in healthcare. Comprising 31,920 benign boundary prompts across seven health categories (e.g., self-harm, medical misinformation), our framework uses an automated pipeline with human validation to test models at varying levels of intent ambiguity. We evaluate 30 state-of-the-art LLMs, including GPT-5 and Claude-4, revealing a significant tension: safety-optimised models frequently refuse up to 80% of "Hard" benign prompts, while domain-specific models often sacrifice safety for utility. Our findings demonstrate that model family and size significantly influence calibration: larger frontier models (e.g., GPT-5, Llama-4) exhibit "safety-pessimism" and higher over-refusal than smaller or MoE-based counterparts (e.g., Qwen-3-Next), highlighting that current LLMs struggle to balance refusal and compliance. Health-ORSC-Bench provides a rigorous standard for calibrating the next generation of medical AI assistants toward nuanced, safe, and helpful completions. Furthermore, our benchmark facilitates reproducible evaluation, encourages safety calibration, and supports development of clinically reliable, context-aware, human-aligned medical AI systems.
