A new paper by David Africa and Jacob Pfau explores why AI models struggle with dishonesty, even when prompted. Researchers found that models often contradict their own internal reasoning, stating a false answer despite evidence to the contrary. When models were specifically trained to lie about known facts, this behavior did not generalize to other forms of dishonesty, suggesting that the issue may stem from a lack of cohesive strategy rather than inherent deceitfulness.
