A Blind Spot in Alignment: Quantifying Biosecurity Risks in Large Language Models
Shu Quan, Tianfang Hao, Sitong Fang +8
Large Language Models (LLMs) are accelerating biological research, yet this same capability poses a critical biosecurity threat: models that assist in protein engineering can equal…
AI Deception: Risks, Dynamics, and Controls
Boyuan Chen, Sitong Fang, Jiaming Ji +56
As intelligence increases, so does its shadow. AI deception, in which systems induce false beliefs to secure self-beneficial outcomes, has evolved from a speculative concern to an…
Debate with Images: Detecting Deceptive Behaviors in Multimodal Large Language Models
Sitong Fang, Shiyi Hou, Kaile Wang +6
Are frontier AI systems becoming more capable? Certainly. Yet such progress is not an unalloyed blessing but rather a Trojan horse: behind their performance leaps lie more insidiou…
A Good Plan is Hard to Find: Aligning Models with Preferences is Misaligned with What Helps Users
Nishant Balepur, Matthew Shu, Yoo Yeon Sung +5
To assist users in complex tasks, LLMs generate plans: step-by-step instructions towards a goal. While alignment methods aim to ensure LLM plans are helpful, they train (RLHF) or e…
Mitigating Deceptive Alignment via Self-Monitoring
Jiaming Ji, Wenqi Chen, Kaile Wang +8
Modern large language models rely on chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning to achieve impressive performance, yet the same mechanism can amplify deceptive alignment, situations in which…
InterMT: Multi-Turn Interleaved Preference Alignment with Human Feedback
Boyuan Chen, Donghai Hong, Jiaming Ji +12
As multimodal large models (MLLMs) continue to advance across challenging tasks, a key question emerges: What essential capabilities are still missing? A critical aspect of human l…
RAG LLMs are Not Safer: A Safety Analysis of Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Large Language Models
Bang An, Shiyue Zhang, Mark Dredze
Efforts to ensure the safety of large language models (LLMs) include safety fine-tuning, evaluation, and red teaming. However, despite the widespread use of the Retrieval-Augmented…
Safe RLHF-V: Safe Reinforcement Learning from Multi-modal Human Feedback
Jiaming Ji, Xinyu Chen, Rui Pan +13
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are essential for building general-purpose AI assistants; however, they pose increasing safety risks. How can we ensure safety alignment of…
Stream Aligner: Efficient Sentence-Level Alignment via Distribution Induction
Hantao Lou, Jiaming Ji, Kaile Wang +1
The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has led to significant improvements in their capabilities, but also to increased concerns about their alignment with human val…
Align Anything: Training All-Modality Models to Follow Instructions with Language Feedback
Jiaming Ji, Jiayi Zhou, Hantao Lou +16
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has proven effective in enhancing the instruction-following capabilities of large language models; however, it remains underexplor…
PKU-SafeRLHF: Towards Multi-Level Safety Alignment for LLMs with Human Preference
Jiaming Ji, Donghai Hong, Borong Zhang +10
In this study, we introduce the safety human preference dataset, PKU-SafeRLHF, designed to promote research on safety alignment in large language models (LLMs). As a sibling projec…
Language Models Resist Alignment: Evidence From Data Compression
Jiaming Ji, Kaile Wang, Tianyi Qiu +7
Large language models (LLMs) may exhibit unintended or undesirable behaviors. Recent works have concentrated on aligning LLMs to mitigate harmful outputs. Despite these efforts, so…
Reward Generalization in RLHF: A Topological Perspective
Tianyi Qiu, Fanzhi Zeng, Jiaming Ji +7
Existing alignment methods share a common topology of information flow, where reward information is collected from humans, modeled with preference learning, and used to tune langua…
AI Alignment: A Comprehensive Survey
Jiaming Ji, Tianyi Qiu, Boyuan Chen +23
AI alignment aims to make AI systems behave in line with human intentions and values. As AI systems grow more capable, so do risks from misalignment. To provide a comprehensive and…
