LLMs prioritize rigid rules over social sensitivity in moral dilemmas

A new research paper explores how large language models (LLMs) handle moral dilemmas, particularly those involving relationships. The study found that while LLMs' internal predictions of human behavior shift towards loyalty as relational closeness increases, their final decisions remain consistently fairness-oriented. This divergence suggests LLMs prioritize strict rules over nuanced social understanding, potentially leading to misalignments in real-world applications. AI
