Researchers have developed a new pipeline to study how emotions affect the moral judgments of large language models. Their findings indicate that positive emotions tend to increase the perceived acceptability of actions, while negative emotions decrease it. This influence is significant enough to alter moral judgments in up to 20% of cases, with less capable models being more susceptible. Notably, human participants did not show these same systematic emotional biases, highlighting a potential alignment gap in current LLMs. AI
