Multi2AV-Safety: Benchmarking Safety in Multimodal-to-Audio-Video Generation

Audio-video generation is rapidly moving from prompt-driven synthesis toward multimodal conditioning, where text, images, audio, and video can jointly shape the generated output. This shift changes the nature of safety evaluation: harmful intent may no longer reside in any single input, but instead emerge from how otherwise benign or weakly harmful conditions interact across modalities and time. Existing safety benchmarks, however, remain largely prompt-centric or tied to fixed conditioning interfaces, leaving such compositional risks difficult to study systematically. To bridge this gap, we introduce Multi2AV-Safety, the first safety benchmark, to the best of our knowledge, to cover all 11 non-singleton T/I/A/V conditioning configurations for audio-video generation, comprising 11,024 attack instances. Evaluation on Multi2AV-Safety reveals systematic weaknesses in representative multimodal safety guards across attack mechanisms and harm-evidence structures. Our evaluation reveals two complementary failure modes: harmful semantics can emerge from the combination of individually benign inputs, while explicit harmful cues can become harder to detect when mixed with benign multimodal context. Together, these results identify compositional risk perception as a central capability gap in safeguarding multimodal-conditioned audio-video generation: current safety guards fail to reliably integrate safety evidence across modalities and time, even when all conditioning inputs are observable. The dataset will be publicly released in October 2026.
