Beyond the Safety Bundle: Auditing the Helpful and Harmless Dataset (2025.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Learning from human feedback (LHF) has been used to mitigate the harms of large language models (LLMs) but the quality of this feedback and its effectiveness as a safety mitigation technique remain unclear. |
| Approach: | They audit the Helpful and Harmless (HH) dataset by Anthropic and examine how conceptualization failures and quality issues identified in the dataset can create additional harms . |
| Outcome: | The findings highlight the need for more nuanced, context-sensitive approaches to safety mitigation in large language models. |

| Challenge: | Recent advances in large language models have also introduced additional safety risks and raised concerns regarding their detrimental impact on already marginalized populations. |
| Approach: | They propose to use LLMs to evaluate their safety responses on already mitigated biases by evaluating models on already encoded assumptions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can encode harmful assumptions, but it can also be harmful for certain demographic groups. |
