摘要:
在包含有害内容的狭窄数据上微调大型语言模型,会在无关提示上产生广泛的失调行为,这种现象称为涌现性失调。我们提出涌现性涉及人格模型崩溃:模型模拟、区分和维持一致角色的内部能力恶化。我们通过两个指标在行为上检验这一假设:道德易感性(S)和道德稳健性(R),它们根据模型在角色扮演下道德基础问卷回答的跨角色和角色内变异性计算得出。这些指标形式化了模型区分角色的能力(S)以及模拟给定角色时的一致性(R)。我们评估了四个前沿模型(DeepSeek-V3.1, GPT-4.1, GPT-4o, Qwen3-235B)的三种变体:基础版、微调为输出不安全代码的版本,以及匹配的微调为输出安全代码的对照版本。在四个模型中,不安全微调导致S平均增加55%,将所有四个不安全变体推至先前工作中13个前沿模型基准观测到的波段之外——其中GPT-4o达到波段上端的两倍以上——表明分化失调。它还导致R平均下降65%,相当于1/R增加304%。相比之下,匹配的安全对照将S保持在基础值附近,仅引起部分R损失,表明这些效应主要特定于失调。补充这些指标变化,不安全变体的无条件响应趋近于接近量表上限的饱和状态,与基础模型的结构化响应以及基础模型角色扮演有毒人格时的响应明显不同。综合来看,这些指标为涌现性失调提供了敏感的诊断,并作为其涉及人格模型崩溃的行为证据。
英文摘要:
Fine-tuning large language models on narrow data with harmful content produces broadly misaligned behavior on unrelated prompts, a phenomenon known as emergent misalignment. We propose that emergent misalignment involves persona-model collapse: deterioration of the model's internal capacity to simulate, differentiate, and maintain consistent characters. We test this hypothesis behaviorally using two metrics: moral susceptibility (S) and moral robustness (R), computed from the across- and within-persona variability of models' Moral Foundations Questionnaire responses under persona role-play. These metrics formalize the model's ability to differentiate characters (S) and its consistency when simulating a given one (R). We evaluate four frontier models (DeepSeek-V3.1, GPT-4.1, GPT-4o, Qwen3-235B) in three variants: base, fine-tuned to output insecure code, and a matched control fine-tuned to output secure code. Across the four models, insecure fine-tuning produces an average $55\%$ increase in S, pushing all four insecure variants beyond the band observed across 13 frontier models benchmarked in prior work -- with GPT-4o reaching more than twice the band's upper end -- signaling dysregulated differentiation. It also causes an average $65\%$ decrease in R, equivalent to a $304\%$ increase in 1/R. By contrast, the matched secure control preserves S near the base and induces only a partial R loss, showing that these effects are largely misalignment-specific. Complementing these metric shifts, insecure variants' unconditioned responses converge toward saturation near the scale ceiling, departing markedly from both base models' structured responses and those elicited when base models role-play toxic personas. Taken together, these metrics provide a sensitive diagnostic for emergent misalignment and serve as behavioral evidence that it involves persona-model collapse.
