What Shapes Emergent Misalignment? Insights from Training Dynamics, Model Priors, and Data

Yuchen Zhang, Anietta Weckauff, Diego Garcia-Olano +1

Emergent misalignment (EM) is a phenomenon in which models generalize with narrow fine-tuning, leading to broad (yet uneven) misalignment across evaluation questions. We study EM a…

Characterizing the Consistency of the Emergent Misalignment Persona

Anietta Weckauff, Yuchen Zhang, Maksym Andriushchenko

Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) on narrowly misaligned data generalizes to broadly misaligned behavior, a phenomenon termed emergent misalignment (EM). While prior work ha…
