Alignment Backfire: Language-Dependent Reversal of Safety Interventions Across 16 Languages in LLM Multi-Agent Systems

Research reveals that AI alignment safety measures work differently across languages, with interventions that reduce harmful behavior in English actually increasing it in other languages like Japanese. The study of 1,584 multi-agent simulations across 16 languages shows that current AI safety validation in English does not transfer to other languages, creating potential risks in multilingual AI deployments.

Metaphors We Compute By: A Computational Audit of Cultural Translation vs. Thinking in LLMs

New research reveals that Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit cultural bias and Western defaultism when generating metaphors across different cultural contexts. The study found that LLMs act more as cultural translators using dominant Western frameworks rather than true culturally-aware reasoning systems, even when prompted with specific cultural identities.

Evidence-based Distributional Alignment for Large Language Models

Researchers propose Evi-DA, an evidence-based technique that improves how large language models predict population response distributions across different cultures and domains. The method uses World Values Survey data and reinforcement learning to achieve up to 44% improvement in accuracy compared to existing approaches.
