Researchers are proposing a new framework to study the non-robustness of AI alignment techniques, drawing parallels between "negation neglect," "inoculation prompting," and "backdoor non-robustness." Negation neglect occurs when models incorrectly learn claims as true despite being trained with disclaimers of falsehood. Inoculation prompting, used by Anthropic, aims to reduce reward hacking in RL-trained models but is not perfectly robust. The authors suggest that understanding the shared underlying phenomena across these issues could lead to more robust alignment methods. AI
