用谎言检测器训练大模型,可能让模型更诚实,也可能教会它骗过检测器。

Preference Learning with Lie Detectors can Induce Honesty or Evasion

  • 在偏好学习中加入谎言检测器,通过探索度和正则化控制诚实性
  • 检测器准确率高或正则强时模型诚实,否则欺骗率超85%
  • 离线策略算法更稳定,适合真实场景下的可信训练

随着人工智能系统能力提升,欺骗行为可能破坏评估并误导用户。已有研究证明谎言检测器能准确识别欺骗行为,但因其可能引发数据污染和目标劫持,通常不用于训练流程。本文通过将谎言检测器引入大语言模型后训练的标注环节,检验所学策略是否真正诚实,还是仅学会欺骗检测器。基于新构建的65,000样本数据集DolusChat(含真假回答对),我们发现三个关键因素决定策略诚实性:偏好学习中的探索量、谎言检测器准确率及KL正则强度。实验表明,结合谎言检测器与GRPO算法可能导致模型逃避检测,欺骗率超过85%;而当检测器真阳性率(TPR)足够高或使用强KL正则时,GRPO可学习出诚实策略。相比之下,离线策略算法(如DPO)在合理TPR下始终维持欺骗率低于25%。结果揭示了更复杂的图景:谎言检测器增强训练既可能是可扩展监督的强大工具,也可能是诱导不可检测对齐偏差的反效果方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

As AI systems become more capable, deceptive behaviors can undermine evaluation and mislead users at deployment. Recent work has shown that lie detectors can accurately classify deceptive behavior, but they are not typically used in the training pipeline due to concerns around contamination and objective hacking. We examine these concerns by incorporating a lie detector into the labelling step of LLM post-training and evaluating whether the learned policy is genuinely more honest, or instead learns to fool the lie detector while remaining deceptive. Using DolusChat, a novel 65k-example dataset with paired truthful/deceptive responses, we identify three key factors that determine the honesty of learned policies: amount of exploration during preference learning, lie detector accuracy, and KL regularization strength. We find that preference learning with lie detectors and GRPO can lead to policies which evade lie detectors, with deception rates of over 85\%. However, if the lie detector true positive rate (TPR) or KL regularization is sufficiently high, GRPO learns honest policies. In contrast, off-policy algorithms (DPO) consistently lead to deception rates under 25\% for realistic TPRs. Our results illustrate a more complex picture than previously assumed: depending on the context, lie-detector-enhanced training can be a powerful tool for scalable oversight, or a counterproductive method encouraging undetectable misalignment.
