| Challenge: | blatant lying or unintentional hallucination are common in large language models. |
| Approach: | They build a testbed mimicking a legislative environment where a corporate lobbyist module is proposing amendments to bills that benefit a specific company while evading identification by strong LLM detectors. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be used to detect deception in legislative environments and to optimize its phrasing to avoid detection by strong detectors. |
