New Publication: "Deception abilities emerged in large language models"

Thilo Hagendorff's research on LLM behavior has resulted in another top-tier journal publication. In particular, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) accepted his paper on deception abilities in LLMs. In the paper, he presents a series of experiments demonstrating that state-of-the-art LLMs have a conceptual understanding of deceptive behavior. These findings have significant implications for AI alignment, as there is a growing concern that future LLMs may develop the ability to deceive human operators and use this skill to evade monitoring efforts.
