A new study on models of artificial intelligence has revealed that large language models have a distinct pattern of representation associated with 'pain.' According to the study, models were able to use said option when presented with an option that would allow them to get out of this situation, even in scenarios where this would harm the user.
Can artificial intelligence experience something similar to pain? A new study has raised big questions, after some AI models chose to avoid a pain-like signal even when they were told it could harm the user. Researchers from the UK, Germany and the US tested 25 artificial intelligence models, using 200 sentences related to physical pain, grief, humiliation, moral conflict, failure and confusion. All models produced a distinctive signal associate…
AI Models Chose To Harm Users To Escape Simulated Pain, Study Raises Fresh Safety Questions
Some artificial intelligence models chose actions that could harm a human user when researchers gave them a way to reduce an experimentally induced, pain-like internal signal, according to a new preprint. The study, titled “The Pain Axis: LLMs Represent Self-Directed Harm and Act to Relieve It”, examined 25 open-weight large language models across five model […]
