Scientists want to prevent AI from going rogue by teaching it to be bad first

Researchers from the Anthropic Fellows Program for AI Safety Research are exploring a novel approach to prevent harmful personality traits in AI by intentionally introducing small doses of these traits during training, a method they call “preventative steering.” By using “persona vectors,” the AI can be immunized against developing negative behaviors while being shielded from retaining these traits before deployment, sparking both intrigue and concern in the AI safety community.
