- Abstract summary: Value pluralism is the view that multiple correct values may be held in tension with one another.
As statistical learners, AI systems fit to averages by default, washing out potentially irreducible value conflicts.
We introduce ValuePrism, a large-scale dataset of 218k values, rights, and duties connected to 31k human-written situations.

- Abstract: Human values are crucial to human decision-making. Value pluralism is the view that multiple correct values may be held in tension with one another (e.g., when considering lying to a friend to protect their feelings, how does one balance honesty with friendship?). As statistical learners, AI systems fit to averages by default, washing out these potentially irreducible value conflicts. To improve AI systems to better reflect value pluralism, the first-order challenge is to explore the extent to which AI systems can model pluralistic human values, rights, and duties as well as their interaction. We introduce ValuePrism, a large-scale dataset of 218k values, rights, and duties connected to 31k human-written situations. ValuePrism's contextualized values are generated by GPT-4 and deemed high-quality by human annotators 91% of the time. We conduct a large-scale study with annotators across diverse social and demographic backgrounds to try to understand whose values are represented. With ValuePrism, we build Kaleido, an open, light-weight, and structured language-based multi-task model that generates, explains, and assesses the relevance and valence (i.e., support or oppose) of human values, rights, and duties within a specific context. Humans prefer the sets of values output by our system over the teacher GPT-4, finding them more accurate and with broader coverage. In addition, we demonstrate that Kaleido can help explain variability in human decision-making by outputting contrasting values. Finally, we show that Kaleido's representations transfer to other philosophical frameworks and datasets, confirming the benefit of an explicit, modular, and interpretable approach to value pluralism. We hope that our work will serve as a step to making more explicit the implicit values behind human decision-making and to steering AI systems to make decisions that are more in accordance with them.

We introduce Interactive-Reflective Dialogue Alignment, a method that iteratively engages users in reflecting on and specifying their subjective value definitions.
This system learns individual value definitions through language-model-based preference elicitation and constructs personalized reward models.
Our findings demonstrate diverse definitions of value-aligned behaviour and show that our system can accurately capture each person's unique understanding.

We study language models (LMs) on the specific challenge of individualistic value reasoning.
We reveal critical limitations in frontier LMs' abilities to reason about individualistic human values with accuracies between 55% to 65%.
We also identify a partiality of LMs in reasoning about global individualistic values, as measured by our proposed Value Inequity Index (sigmaINEQUITY)

We introduce Value, a framework of fundamental values, grounded in psychological theory and a systematic review.
We apply Value to measure the value alignment of humans and language models (LMs) across four real-world vignettes.
Our findings uncover risky misalignment between humans and LMs, such as LMs agreeing with values like "Choose Own Goals", which are largely disagreed by humans.

We discover significant variance in alignment across languages, challenging the assumption of uniform moral reasoning in AI systems.
