Evaluating LLM Moral Reasoning
sethlazar · x · 2026-07-10
The author conducts empirical evaluations of LLMs at a research institute, focusing on how to measure capabilities like "moral reasoning," which are difficult to gold-standard.
They argue that this research has both practical utility and independent value: to achieve safe superhuman AI, models must possess moral capabilities; those concerned with the moral status of future AI systems will also find "moral capability" to be a crucial issue. The author noted that related content has been published as an article on @cosmosinst, the team has multiple papers on arXiv, and their first computer science conference paper was accepted by CoLM.
