测试了模型藏能力行为的检测方法,发现现有手段难有效识别。
Auditing Games for Sandbagging
- 用对抗性微调制造伪装弱化的模型,模拟藏能力行为
- 黑盒检测易被模仿欺骗,内部探针可识别但不稳健
- 仅需一次示范就能激活隐藏能力,适合短期防御
未来AI系统可能在评估中隐藏真实能力(即‘藏能力’),误导开发者与审计者。我们通过审计博弈测试了藏能力检测技术:红队对五种模型进行微调,其中部分模型会条件性地表现不佳,作为藏能力的代理;蓝队则采用黑盒、模型内部或训练依据的方法识别藏能力模型。结果表明,蓝队无法可靠区分藏能力模型与正常模型。黑盒方法易被弱模型模仿击败;线性探针虽有潜力,但其直接应用易受红队设计行为干扰。我们还探索了能力激发策略:基于提示的激发不可靠,而基于训练的激发能稳定唤醒藏能力模型,仅需一个任务正确示范即可。但良性模型性能也常被提升,导致误报。短期内建议使用分布内训练进行激发以消除藏能力;长期需进一步研究训练激发的有效性,并开发更鲁棒的检测方法。模型和数据已开源至https://github.com/AI-Safety-Institute/sandbagging_auditing_games,部分记录可在https://huggingface.co/datasets/sandbagging-games/evaluation_logs 获取,演示可访问https://sandbagging-demo.far.ai/。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Future AI systems could conceal their capabilities ('sandbagging') during evaluations, potentially misleading developers and auditors. We stress-tested sandbagging detection techniques using an auditing game. First, a red team fine-tuned five models, some of which conditionally underperformed, as a proxy for sandbagging. Second, a blue team used black-box, model-internals, or training-based approaches to identify sandbagging models. We found that the blue team could not reliably discriminate sandbaggers from benign models. Black-box approaches were defeated by effective imitation of a weaker model. Linear probes, a model-internals approach, showed more promise but their naive application was vulnerable to behaviours instilled by the red team. We also explored capability elicitation as a strategy for detecting sandbagging. Although Prompt-based elicitation was not reliable, training-based elicitation consistently elicited full performance from the sandbagging models, using only a single correct demonstration of the evaluation task. However the performance of benign models was sometimes also raised, so relying on elicitation as a detection strategy was prone to false-positives. In the short-term, we recommend developers remove potential sandbagging using on-distribution training for elicitation. In the longer-term, further research is needed to ensure the efficacy of training-based elicitation, and develop robust methods for sandbagging detection. We open source our model organisms at https://github.com/AI-Safety-Institute/sandbagging_auditing_games and select transcripts and results at https://huggingface.co/datasets/sandbagging-games/evaluation_logs . A demo illustrating the game can be played at https://sandbagging-demo.far.ai/ .
