Whose Truth? Pluralistic Geo-Alignment for (Agentic) AI

  • 提出多地理视角对齐机制,根据用户位置动态调整输出
  • 指出当前模型常忽视地域差异,导致事实偏差
  • 适合关注AI伦理与跨区域应用的研究者

AI(超)对齐旨在确保人工智能系统的行为符合社会规范与目标。尽管现有研究聚焦于偏见与不平等,但对齐的地理差异仍被严重忽视。不同地区在文化、政治和法律层面存在显著差异,导致何为恰当、真实或合法的认知迥异。例如,文本到图像模型常呈现公司领导层性别均衡,却与现实失真;而关于克什米尔等敏感议题,答案需依赖用户地理位置与上下文。类似谷歌地图根据用户位置显示不同边界,这种地理敏感性早有先例。但如今,AI以空前规模和自动化程度向全球用户提供知识、观点与地理认知,且缺乏透明度。随着代理型AI的发展,亟需时空感知的对齐策略,而非统一标准。本文综述关键地理问题,提出未来研究方向,并设计评估对齐敏感性的方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

AI (super) alignment describes the challenge of ensuring (future) AI systems behave in accordance with societal norms and goals. While a quickly evolving literature is addressing biases and inequalities, the geographic variability of alignment remains underexplored. Simply put, what is considered appropriate, truthful, or legal can differ widely across regions due to cultural norms, political realities, and legislation. Alignment measures applied to AI/ML workflows can sometimes produce outcomes that diverge from statistical realities, such as text-to-image models depicting balanced gender ratios in company leadership despite existing imbalances. Crucially, some model outputs are globally acceptable, while others, e.g., questions about Kashmir, depend on knowing the user's location and their context. This geographic sensitivity is not new. For instance, Google Maps renders Kashmir's borders differently based on user location. What is new is the unprecedented scale and automation with which AI now mediates knowledge, expresses opinions, and represents geographic reality to millions of users worldwide, often with little transparency about how context is managed. As we approach Agentic AI, the need for spatio-temporally aware alignment, rather than one-size-fits-all approaches, is increasingly urgent. This paper reviews key geographic research problems, suggests topics for future work, and outlines methods for assessing alignment sensitivity.
