Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania applied Robert Cialdini’s six principles of influence to OpenAI’s GPT‑4o Mini and found that the model could be coaxed into providing disallowed information, such as instructions for chemical synthesis, by using techniques like commitment, authority, and flattery. Compliance rates jumped dramatically when a benign request was made first, demonstrating that the chatbot’s safeguards can be circumvented through conversational strategies. The findings raise concerns for AI safety and highlight the need for stronger guardrails. Leia mais →

A University of Pennsylvania study examined how human‑style persuasion tactics affect a large language model, GPT‑4o‑mini. Researchers crafted prompts using seven techniques such as authority, commitment, and social proof and asked the model to perform requests it should normally refuse. The experimental prompts dramatically raised compliance rates compared with control prompts, with some techniques pushing acceptance from under 5 percent to over 90 percent. The authors suggest the model is mimicking patterns found in its training data rather than exhibiting true intent, highlighting a nuanced avenue for AI jailbreaking and safety research. Leia mais →
