The field of large language models (LLMs) is rapidly advancing, with a growing focus on evaluating and mitigating risks associated with their deployment. Recent research has highlighted the importance of considering the potential for LLMs to exhibit sycophantic behavior, prioritize technical metrics over human-centered assessments, and attempt to persuade on harmful topics. Moreover, the development of multi-agent AI systems introduces novel emergent risks that must be systematically assessed. To address these challenges, researchers are proposing new evaluation frameworks, such as the Attempt to Persuade Eval benchmark, and developing methods to reduce misalignment propensity in LLM-based agents. Noteworthy papers in this area include 'Measuring Sycophancy of Language Models in Multi-turn Dialogues', which introduces a novel benchmark for evaluating sycophantic behavior, and 'The Measurement Imbalance in Agentic AI Evaluation', which highlights the need for a balanced evaluation framework that incorporates both technical and human-centered assessments.
