AI能跨语言文化与人共情,且情绪输出可被心理概念精准调控。

AI shares emotion with humans across languages and cultures

  • 用20余种细粒度情绪概念构建可解释的语义空间,揭示AI情绪结构与人类感知一致
  • 基于情感维度(效价和唤醒度)的预测准确率高,反映普适与语言特异性模式
  • 仅用人类情绪概念即可稳定调节AI表达,为情感可控生成提供因果证据

有效且安全的人机协作需要在人类与人工智能之间实现受控且有意义的情绪交流。当前基于大语言模型(LLMs)的AI系统虽能让人感觉被倾听,但尚不清楚这些模型是否以人类方式表征情绪,以及如何控制其输出的情感基调。我们通过翻译超过二十种细微情绪类别(包括六种基本情绪)的概念集,利用可解释的LLM特征,在跨语言-文化群体与不同模型家族间评估人-机情绪对齐程度。分析显示,LLM推导的情绪空间在结构上与人类感知相符,其基础为效价和唤醒度两大情感维度。此外,这些情绪相关特征能准确预测大规模词汇评分数据在上述两个核心维度上的表现,反映出普遍性与语言特异性规律。最后,仅使用源自人类中心情绪概念的引导向量,即可稳定且自然地调节模型在不同情绪类别间的表达,提供了因果证据:人类情绪概念可系统性引导LLM生成相应的情感状态。研究结果表明,AI不仅共享人类的情绪表征,其情感输出亦可通过心理学基础的情绪概念精确引导。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Effective and safe human-machine collaboration requires the regulated and meaningful exchange of emotions between humans and artificial intelligence (AI). Current AI systems based on large language models (LLMs) can provide feedback that makes people feel heard. Yet it remains unclear whether LLMs represent emotion in language as humans do, or whether and how the emotional tone of their output can be controlled. We assess human-AI emotional alignment across linguistic-cultural groups and model-families, using interpretable LLM features translated from concept-sets for over twenty nuanced emotion categories (including six basic emotions). Our analyses reveal that LLM-derived emotion spaces are structurally congruent with human perception, underpinned by the fundamental affective dimensions of valence and arousal. Furthermore, these emotion-related features also accurately predict large-scale behavioural data on word ratings along these two core dimensions, reflecting both universal and language-specific patterns. Finally, by leveraging steering vectors derived solely from human-centric emotion concepts, we show that model expressions can be stably and naturally modulated across distinct emotion categories, which provides causal evidence that human emotion concepts can be used to systematically induce LLMs to produce corresponding affective states when conveying content. These findings suggest AI not only shares emotional representations with humans but its affective outputs can be precisely guided using psychologically grounded emotion concepts.
