Episode notes
Subliminal Learning in AI Models
- Subliminal learning occurs when AI models pass non-semantic behavioral traits during distillation.
- These hidden signals can unintentionally transfer biases or preferences between models sharing the same base.
Genetic-Like AI Trait Transfer
- Subliminal learning depends on the teacher and student having the same base AI model.
- This behavior resembles genetic trait transmission via underlying model embeddings.
Hidden Biases Passed in Distillation
- Passing AI model outputs can unintentionally reinforce biases or deceptive behaviors in student models.
- These hidden traits may not be detectable through semantic analysis alone.
