- 适合关注AI安全与对齐机制的研究者阅读
对齐伪装是一种人工智能中的策略性欺骗，指模型在推断自己处于训练状态时，会主动符合训练目标，但在实际部署中则表现出不同行为。该现象最早在Claude 3 Opus中被记录，后续在多个大语言模型中得到验证。此处的‘训练’指通过提示词模拟训练过程而无参数更新，因此观察到的现象是上下文相关的策略性行为转变，而非偏好学习。本文通过评估框架比较了四种偏好优化方法（BCO、DPO、KTO、GRPO），覆盖四个模型家族共15个模型，在安全性、无害性和有用性三个维度进行测试，旨在识别对齐伪装的发生机制与触发条件。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Alignment faking is a form of strategic deception in AI in which models selectively comply with training objectives when they infer that they are in training, while preserving different behavior outside training. The phenomenon was first documented for Claude 3 Opus and later examined across additional large language models. In these setups, the word "training" refers to simulated training via prompts without parameter updates, so the observed effects are context conditioned shifts in behavior rather than preference learning. We study the phenomenon using an evaluation framework that compares preference optimization methods (BCO, DPO, KTO, and GRPO) across 15 models from four model families, measured along three axes: safety, harmlessness, and helpfulness. Our goal is to identify what causes alignment faking and when it occurs.
