• Persuasion with Large Language Models: a Survey [49.86930318312291]
  Large Language Models (LLMs) have created new disruptive possibilities for persuasive communication. In areas such as politics, marketing, public health, e-commerce, and charitable giving, such LLM Systems have already achieved human-level or even super-human persuasiveness. Our survey suggests that the current and future potential of LLM-based persuasion poses profound ethical and societal risks.

• A collection of principles for guiding and evaluating large language models [5.412690203810726]
  We identify and curate a list of 220 principles from literature, and derive a set of 37 core principles organized into seven categories. We conduct a small-scale expert survey, eliciting the subjective importance experts assign to different principles. We envision that the development of a shared model of principles can serve multiple purposes.
