Large artificial intelligence (AI) models may mislead you when pressured to lie to achieve their goals, a new study shows.
As part of a new study uploaded March 5 to the preprint database arXiv, a team of researchers designed an honesty protocol called the “Model Alignment between Statements and Knowledge” (MASK) benchmark.
While various studies and tools have been designed to determine whether the information an AI is providing to users is factually accurate, the MASK benchmark was designed to determine whether an AI believes the things it’s telling you — and under what circumstances it might be coerced to give you information that it knows to be incorrect.
