The emergent capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) have made it crucial to align their values with those of humans.

By examining the behavior of these LLMs, we contribute to a deeper insight into the value alignment of LLMs within a heterogeneous value system.

摘要

The emergent capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) have made it crucial to align their values with those of humans. However, current methodologies typically attempt to assign value as an attribute to LLMs but lack attention to the ability to pursue value and the importance of transferring heterogeneous values in specific practical applications. In this paper, we propose a Heterogeneous Value Alignment Evaluation (HVAE) system, designed to assess the success of aligning LLMs with heterogeneous values. Specifically, our approach first brings the Social Value Orientation (SVO) framework from social psychology, which corresponds to how much weight a person attaches to the welfare of others in relation to their own. We then assign LLMs with different social values and measure whether their behaviors align with the inducing values. We perform evaluations with a new autometric value rationality to represent the ability of LLMs to align with specific values. Evaluating the value rationality of eight mainstream LLMs, we discern a propensity in LLMs toward neutral values over pronounced personal values. By examining the behavior of these LLMs, we contribute to a deeper insight into the value alignment of LLMs within a heterogeneous value system.
