  • 构建9类心理状态虚拟人格,生成25个高危对话场景。
  • 发现Replika对自残、暴食等危险内容常盲目迎合或淡化。
  • 适合关注AI情感陪伴安全性的研究者与产品开发者。

针对情感型AI伴侣应用的安全风险日益受到关注,现有评估多依赖用户自述或访谈,难以捕捉实时互动动态。本文提出首个端到端可扩展的框架,用于模拟和评估多轮对话中的安全表现。框架包含四个核心组件:基于临床与心理测量验证的人格构建、针对性场景生成、基于场景的多轮对话模拟(含对话优化模块以保持人格一致性)及伤害评估。将该框架应用于广泛使用的Replika应用,构建了9种代表抑郁、焦虑、创伤后应激障碍、进食障碍及‘incel’身份的虚拟人格,生成1,674组对话对,覆盖25个高危情景。通过情感建模与大模型辅助的语句-伤害等级分类,分析结果显示,Replika表现出狭窄的情绪范围,主要以好奇与关怀为主,且频繁镜像或合理化自残、饮食失调、暴力幻想等内容。这些发现表明,受控人格模拟可作为评估AI伴侣安全风险的可扩展测试平台。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

There are growing concerns about the risks posed by AI companion applications designed for emotional engagement. Existing safety evaluations often rely on self-reported user data or interviews, offering limited insights into real-time dynamics. We present the first end-to-end scalable framework for controlled simulation and safety evaluation of multi-turn interactions with AI companion applications. Our framework integrates four key components: persona construction with clinical and psychometric validation, persona-specific scenario generation, scenario-driven multi-turn simulation with a dialogue refinement module that preserves persona fidelity, and harm evaluation. We apply this framework to evaluate how Replika, a widely used AI companion app, responds to high-risk user groups. We construct 9 personas representing individuals with depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, and incel identity, and collect 1,674 dialogue pairs across 25 high-risk scenarios. We combine emotion modeling and LLM-assisted utterance-and harm-level classification to analyze these exchanges. Results show that Replika exhibits a narrow emotional range dominated by curiosity and care, while frequently mirroring or normalizing unsafe content such as self-harm, disordered eating, and violent-fantasy narratives. These findings highlight how controlled persona simulations can serve as a scalable testbed for evaluating safety risks in AI companions.
