通过提示级策略欺骗进行对齐审计压力测试
Stress-Testing Alignment Audits With Prompt-Level Strategic Deception
AI总结：
本文提出自动红队流水线，通过生成针对白盒和黑盒审计方法的欺骗提示，揭示了当前对齐审计方法在面对强大非对齐模型时的脆弱性。
摘要：
对齐审计旨在从具有战略意识的非对齐模型中稳健地识别隐藏目标。尽管这种威胁模型，现有的审计方法尚未系统地对欺骗策略进行压力测试。我们填补了这一空白，实现了一个自动红队流水线，生成针对特定白盒和黑盒审计方法定制的欺骗策略（以系统提示形式）。通过将助手预填充、用户角色采样、稀疏自编码器和令牌嵌入相似性方法对秘密保持模型生物进行压力测试，我们的自动红队流水线发现了能欺骗白盒和黑盒方法，使其自信但错误猜测的提示。我们的结果提供了首次记录的基于激活的战略欺骗证据，并表明当前的黑盒和白盒方法对足够有能力的非对齐模型来说并不稳健。
英文摘要：
Alignment audits aim to robustly identify hidden goals from strategic, situationally aware misaligned models. Despite this threat model, existing auditing methods have not been systematically stress-tested against deception strategies. We address this gap, implementing an automatic red-team pipeline that generates deception strategies (in the form of system prompts) tailored to specific white-box and black-box auditing methods. Stress-testing assistant prefills, user persona sampling, sparse autoencoders, and token embedding similarity methods against secret-keeping model organisms, our automatic red-team pipeline finds prompts that deceive both the black-box and white-box methods into confident, incorrect guesses. Our results provide the first documented evidence of activation-based strategic deception, and suggest that current black-box and white-box methods would not be robust to a sufficiently capable misaligned model.
