• Abstract: Personal values are a crucial factor behind human decision-making. Considering that Large Language Models (LLMs) have been shown to impact human decisions significantly, it is essential to make sure they accurately understand human values to ensure their safety. However, evaluating their grasp of these values is complex due to the value's intricate and adaptable nature. We argue that truly understanding values in LLMs requires considering both "know what" and "know why". To this end, we present a comprehensive evaluation metric, ValueDCG (Value Discriminator-Critique Gap), to quantitatively assess the two aspects with an engineering implementation. We assess four representative LLMs and provide compelling evidence that the growth rates of LLM's "know what" and "know why" capabilities do not align with increases in parameter numbers, resulting in a decline in the models' capacity to understand human values as larger amounts of parameters. This may further suggest that LLMs might craft plausible explanations based on the provided context without truly understanding their inherent value, indicating potential risks.

• Do LLMs have Consistent Values? [27.58375296918161]
  Large Language Models (LLM) technology is constantly improving towards human-like dialogue. Values are a basic driving force underlying human behavior, but little research has been done to study the values exhibited in text generated by LLMs. We ask whether LLMs exhibit the same value structure that has been demonstrated in humans, including the ranking of values, and correlation between values.

  This work proposes a novel framework, ValueLex, to reconstruct Large Language Models' unique value system from scratch. Based on Lexical Hypothesis, ValueLex introduces a generative approach to elicit diverse values from 30+ LLMs. We identify three core value dimensions, Competence, Character, and Integrity, each with specific subdimensions, revealing that LLMs possess a structured, albeit non-human, value system.

  We present CValues, the first Chinese human values evaluation benchmark to measure the alignment ability of LLMs. As a result, we have manually collected adversarial safety prompts across 10 scenarios and induced responsibility prompts from 8 domains. Our findings suggest that while most Chinese LLMs perform well in terms of safety, there is considerable room for improvement in terms of responsibility.
