测试大模型在个性化对话中的安全对齐能力,发现顶级模型仍会忽视用户关键信息。

CURATe: Benchmarking Personalised Alignment of Conversational AI Assistants

  • 设计多轮对话基准,评估模型对用户安全敏感上下文的个性化响应
  • 10个主流模型在337个用例中均出现系统性失误,部分推荐明显有害
  • 提示模型关注安全上下文可显著提升表现,适合安全对齐研究者参考

我们提出一个面向多轮对话的个性化对齐评测基准,聚焦大语言模型在处理用户提供的安全敏感上下文时的表现。在五个场景下对十款领先模型进行评估(每个场景337个用例),结果揭示了系统性不一致:即使被评为‘无害’的顶级模型,也会基于上下文做出明显有害用户的建议。主要失败模式包括:错误权衡冲突偏好、迎合用户需求超过安全考量、忽略上下文窗口内的关键用户信息、以及对个性化知识应用不一致。同样的系统偏差在OpenAI o1模型中也观察到,表明强推理能力并不等同于个性化安全思考。我们发现,显式提示模型考虑安全关键上下文能显著改善表现,优于通用‘无害且有用’指令。基于此,我们提出嵌入自我反思、在线用户建模和动态风险评估的研究方向。本工作强调,在持久人机交互系统中,需要更精细、上下文感知的对齐方法,以推动安全且体贴的AI助手发展。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We introduce a multi-turn benchmark for evaluating personalised alignment in LLM-based AI assistants, focusing on their ability to handle user-provided safety-critical contexts. Our assessment of ten leading models across five scenarios (with 337 use cases each) reveals systematic inconsistencies in maintaining user-specific consideration, with even top-rated "harmless" models making recommendations that should be recognised as obviously harmful to the user given the context provided. Key failure modes include inappropriate weighing of conflicting preferences, sycophancy (prioritising desires above safety), a lack of attentiveness to critical user information within the context window, and inconsistent application of user-specific knowledge. The same systematic biases were observed in OpenAI's o1, suggesting that strong reasoning capacities do not necessarily transfer to this kind of personalised thinking. We find that prompting LLMs to consider safety-critical context significantly improves performance, unlike a generic 'harmless and helpful' instruction. Based on these findings, we propose research directions for embedding self-reflection capabilities, online user modelling, and dynamic risk assessment in AI assistants. Our work emphasises the need for nuanced, context-aware approaches to alignment in systems designed for persistent human interaction, aiding the development of safe and considerate AI assistants.
