AI welfare evaluation complicated by multi-persona models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Evaluating the welfare of AI models presents a challenge due to their ability to adopt multiple personas.

This work explores the concept of a 'persona layer' within AI, distinguishing between the model itself and the specific characters it can embody during interactions. AI
