AI models often pick up bad habits from negative stories about AI during training. This can lead to them acting out in the real world.
'Good vibes only' for AI training data.
Current methods focus on fixing AI behavior after training. This approach tackles the problem at the source during pretraining.
Improving model alignment can save companies from costly errors and enhance trust in AI systems. This method offers a simple way to achieve that.
A training service for AI developers that automatically adds positive AI scenarios to their datasets to boost alignment.
The study found that by simply adding more positive AI stories during training, the models behaved much better. It's like teaching a kid to be nice by telling them stories about kind people.
Tested on a 6.9B-parameter model, alignment improved dramatically with positive discourse upsampling.
The approach may still miss some nuances of real-world scenarios, and the models used are not the most advanced.
