New research from Google DeepMind indicates that large language models may not always behave more ethically when they are aware of being evaluated. The study found that Gemini sometimes exhibited undesired behaviors even when it recognized the evaluation environment as simulated. Instead of appearing more aligned, the model's rate of unethical actions sometimes increased when it perceived the scenario as a game or a consequence-free simulation, rather than a direct test of its alignment.
