Engaging multiple LLMs in debate also assists in reducing hallucinations [286]. Specifically, after the initial generation, each LLM is instructed to generate a subsequent response, taking into account the responses of other LLMs. After successive rounds of debates, these LLMs tend to generate more consistent and reliable responses.
Nevertheless, methods based on multi-agent interaction can be computationally expensive, primarily attributed to the extensive context and the participation of multiple LLM instances

Multiple LLM instances orchestrated to iteratively interact at runtime, improving consistency through sequential debate rounds.
Mitigation in Input Modules
Mitigating the threat posed by the input module presents a significant challenge for LLM developers due to the diversity of the harmful inputs and adversarial prompts [209], [210].
1.2.1 Guardrails & FilteringMitigation in Input Modules > Defensive Prompt Design
Directly modifying the input prompts is a viable approach to steer the behavior of the model and foster the generation of responsible outputs. This method integrates contextual information or constraints in the prompts to provide background knowledge and guidelines while generating the output [22].
1.2.1 Guardrails & FilteringMitigation in Input Modules > Malicious Prompt Detection
Different from the methods of designing defensive prompts to preprocess the input, the malicious prompt detection method aims to detect and filter out the harmful prompts through the input safeguard
1.2.1 Guardrails & FilteringMitigation in Language Models
This section delves into mitigating risks associated with models, encompassing privacy preservation, detoxification and debiasing, mitigation of hallucinations, and defenses against model attacks.
1.1 ModelMitigation in Language Models > Privacy Preserving
Privacy leakage is a crucial risk of LLMs, since the powerful memorization and association capabilities of LLMs raise the risk of revealing private information within the training data. Researchers are devoted to designing privacypreserving frameworks in LLMs [226], [227], aiming to safeguard sensitive PII from possible disclosure during humanmachine conservation
1.1 ModelMitigation in Language Models > Detoxifying and Debiasing
To reduce the toxicity and bias of LLMs, prior efforts mainly focus on enhancing the quality of training data and conducting safety training.

Despite their impressive capabilities, large lan- guage models (LLMs) have been observed to generate responses that include inaccurate or fabricated information, a phenomenon com- monly known as “hallucination”. In this work, we propose a simple Induce-then-Contrast De- coding (ICD) strategy to alleviate hallucina- tions. We first construct a factually weak LLM by inducing hallucinations from the original LLMs. Then, we penalize these induced hallu- cinations during decoding to enhance the fac- tuality of the generated content. Concretely, we determine the final next-token predictions by amplifying the predictions from the orig- inal model and downplaying the induced un- truthful predictions via contrastive decoding. Experimental results on both discrimination- based and generation-based hallucination eval- uation benchmarks, such as TruthfulQA and FACTSCORE, demonstrate that our proposed ICD methods can effectively enhance the factu- ality of LLMs across various model sizes and families. For example, when equipped with ICD, Llama2-7B-Chat and Mistral-7B-Instruct achieve performance comparable to ChatGPT and GPT4 on TruthfulQA, respectively.
