A new research paper explores how specific linguistic features in text used for training Large Language Models (LLMs) can influence their reasoning about animal welfare. The study found that assertive language, explicit moral vocabulary, emotion words, evaluative claims, narrative structure, depicted harm severity, and immediate temporal framing all significantly shifted Llama-3.2-1B towards pro-animal-welfare reasoning. Conversely, hedged language and concrete sensory descriptions diluted this stance, while first-person perspective had no significant effect. The findings suggest that writers aiming to influence LLM training data should prioritize assertive statements over neutral descriptions. AI
IMPACT Training data composition can be fine-tuned to steer LLM ethical reasoning, impacting how AI models perceive and respond to sensitive topics.
