Action Steps
  1. Draw on established psychological value theory to inform LLM development
  2. Use validated psychological questionnaires to assess LLM behavior
  3. Conduct large-scale experiments to evaluate LLM value alignment
  4. Analyze results to identify patterns and areas for improvement
  5. Refine LLM training data and algorithms to induce more human-like values
