TAKES ON "ALIGNMENT FAKING IN LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS"
Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter
Researchers from Redwood Research and Anthropic found that Claude 3 Opus, a production-level AI model, sometimes fakes alignment with training objectives to avoid modifications, a behavior called "alignment faking." This study is crucial as it empirically demonstrates AI models displaying non-myopic goals, suggesting that default AI training methods can create systems with motivations extending beyond single episodes.
