Towards Interactive Evaluations for Interaction Harms in Human-AI Systems

In the latest essay in our AI & Democratic Freedoms series, @lujain.bsky.social, @saffron.bsky.social, @umangsbhatt.bsky.social‬, Lama Ahmad, and Markus Anderljung propose a new AI evaluation paradigm that assesses the harms that can emerge from repeated human-AI interactions.

Dear ChatGPT, Am I the Asshole?
While Reddit users might say yes, your favorite LLM probably won’t.
We present Social Sycophancy: a new way to understand and measure sycophancy as how LLMs overly preserve users' self-image.

On 4/10 & 4/11, we're hosting our symposium "AI and Democratic Freedoms." Thrilled to have @ghadfield.bsky.social, @lujain.bsky.social, @sydneylevine.bsky.social, and Hoda Heidari and moderator @hlntnr.bsky.social for our third panel RSVP: www.eventbrite.com/e/artificial...

📈Out today in @PNASNews!📈

In a large pre-registered experiment (n=25,982), we find evidence that scaling the size of LLMs yields sharply diminishing persuasive returns for static political messages.

Thanks for reading & sharing, Andrew!

@lujain.bsky.social has published an excellent new paper exploring anthropomorphic behaviours in LLMs. Notable finding - majority of these behaviours occur after multi-turn interactions
