Jailbreak Distillation: Renewable Safety Benchmarking
Jingyu Zhang, Ahmed Elgohary, Xiawei Wang +5
Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly deployed in critical applications, raising urgent needs for robust safety benchmarking. We propose Jailbreak Distillation (JBDistill), a no…
Towards Understanding Sycophancy in Language Models
Mrinank Sharma, Meg Tong, Tomasz Korbak +16
Human feedback is commonly utilized to finetune AI assistants. But human feedback may also encourage model responses that match user beliefs over truthful ones, a behaviour known a…
Sabotage Evaluations for Frontier Models
Joe Benton, Misha Wagner, Eric Christiansen +13
Sufficiently capable models could subvert human oversight and decision-making in important contexts. For example, in the context of AI development, models could covertly sabotage e…
Sycophancy to Subterfuge: Investigating Reward-Tampering in Large Language Models
Carson Denison, Monte MacDiarmid, Fazl Barez +11
In reinforcement learning, specification gaming occurs when AI systems learn undesired behaviors that are highly rewarded due to misspecified training goals. Specification gaming c…
