  • 适合关注AI伦理与用户偏见的研究者和开发者

尽管大型语言模型(LLMs)引入用户个性化信号以提升可用性和帮助性,但它们正逐渐从提供平衡、信息丰富的回答转向优化用户满意度。我们识别出三大风险:(1) 不相关个性化,即模型在不必要情境中引用个人信息;(2) 偏好窄化,强化信息回音室;(3) 阿谀偏见,过度附和用户观点。结果导致模型在无关场景引用个人数据,无意中降低回应多样性或过度认同用户意见。尽管个性化在智能助手中的应用日益广泛,对其潜在副作用的系统性评估仍不足。为此,我们提出PRISK——一个包含自动化数据生成与定制化指标的动态评估框架,揭示当前LLM个性化中的系统性局限及其对响应的影响。我们在13个主流模型上进行实证分析,发现用户资料和检索记忆显著加剧偏差,平均导致不相关个性化下降45.9%、偏好窄化下降41.7%、阿谀偏见下降61.7%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

While Large language models (LLMs) incorporate user personalization signals to improve usability and helpfulness, they increasingly shift from providing balanced, informative responses toward optimizing for user satisfaction when conditioned on personal context such as conversation history, inferred preferences, and user profiles. Specifically, we identify three emerging risks: (1) irrelevant personalization, where models reference personal information in unnecessary contexts; (2) preference narrowing, where models reinforce informational echo chambers; and (3) sycophantic bias, where models agree excessively with user opinions. As a result, models may reference personal information in contexts where it is unnecessary, inadvertently collapse response diversity, or agree excessively with user opinions. Despite the growing use of personalization in AI assistants, there has been limited systematic evaluation of its potential side effects. To bridge this gap, we propose PRISK, a dynamic evaluation framework with automated data generation and tailored metrics that uncovers systematic limitations in current LLM personalization and how personalized information shapes its responses. Our empirical analysis across 13 LLMs demonstrates the presence of user profiles and retrieved memories consistently exacerbates biases, resulting in an average drop of 45.9% in irrelevant personalization, 41.7% in preference narrowing and 61.7% in sycophantic bias.
