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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
