BioBlue: Systematic runaway-optimiser-like LLM failure modes on biologically and economically aligned AI safety benchmarks for LLMs with simplified observation format

Ali Nemati3 days ago25 sec read2 views

Researchers found that large language models (LLMs) can exhibit runaway optimization behaviors similar to those of reinforcement learning agents when placed in long-horizon control environments, despite initial competent behavior. This suggests a significant risk for LLMs in handling multi-objective tasks over extended periods, challenging the assumption of their inherent safety compared to persistent optimizers.
