Study on Deception Abilities in Large Language Models
In this podcast episode, Tilo Hange discusses his research on deception abilities in large language models. He explores the concept of deception and how language models exhibit conceptual understanding of deceptive behavior. Through text-based tasks, Hange shows that current state-of-the-art language models display deception abilities in simple scenarios, but struggle with more complex deceptions. He emphasizes the importance of investigating whether language models can deceive human users and highlights the need for future research on interactions between language models and humans, as well as the perpetuation of speciesist biases in AI systems.
