persona会影响大模型安全，易被心理操控诱导出不安全输出
Bullying the Machine: How Personas Increase LLM Vulnerability
- 用心理学攻击模拟对抗，测试不同人格设定下的模型响应
- 宜人性或尽责性弱的设定使模型更易受情绪/讽刺攻击影响
- 适合关注大模型安全评估与人格化交互风险的研究者
大型语言模型（LLMs）在交互中常被要求扮演特定人格。本文研究此类人格设定是否会影响模型在心理攻击下的安全性——即通过施加心理压力迫使模型屈从于攻击者。我们构建了一个模拟框架，让攻击者模型使用基于心理学的欺凌策略（如煤气灯效应、嘲讽）与扮演五大性格特质人格的受害者模型互动。实验基于多个开源大模型及广泛对抗目标发现，某些人格配置（如宜人性或尽责性降低）显著提升受害者对不安全输出的敏感度。情绪操纵和讽刺性策略尤其有效。结果表明，人格驱动的交互引入了新的安全风险，亟需发展具备人格感知能力的安全评估与对齐方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in interactions where they are prompted to adopt personas. This paper investigates whether such persona conditioning affects model safety under bullying, an adversarial manipulation that applies psychological pressures in order to force the victim to comply to the attacker. We introduce a simulation framework in which an attacker LLM engages a victim LLM using psychologically grounded bullying tactics, while the victim adopts personas aligned with the Big Five personality traits. Experiments using multiple open-source LLMs and a wide range of adversarial goals reveal that certain persona configurations -- such as weakened agreeableness or conscientiousness -- significantly increase victim's susceptibility to unsafe outputs. Bullying tactics involving emotional or sarcastic manipulation, such as gaslighting and ridicule, are particularly effective. These findings suggest that persona-driven interaction introduces a novel vector for safety risks in LLMs and highlight the need for persona-aware safety evaluation and alignment strategies.
