Researchers have developed a new alignment method for large language models (LLMs) that guides them using global citizenship values, addressing the challenge of harmful persona-conditioned requests. By creating a dataset of controversial topics and value-based personas, they found that existing well-aligned LLMs produced harmful responses over 47% of the time. The new approach uses UNESCO's global citizenship principles as a baseline for safety and allows users to control the balance between persona adherence and safety during inference, resulting in a model that is both safer and more persona-adherent than previous methods.
