EthosGPT: Charting the Human Values Landscape on a Global Scale

This project is one of three winners of the "Outstanding Governance Project" prize for our AI Governance (August 2024) course. The text below is an excerpt from the final project.

Large language models (LLMs) are transforming global decision-making and societal systems. Their ability to process diverse data and align with human values is both a remarkable strength and a critical risk. While LLMs excel at navigating cultural, economic, and political differences, they also risk homogenizing values—a process akin to the loss of biodiversity threatening ecological resilience.

EthosGPT introduces an open-source framework designed to map and visualize LLMs’ positioning within a multidimensional landscape of human values. Using prompt-based evaluation, EthosGPT examines how effectively AI systems navigate complex global differences in human values.

EthosGPT bridges disciplines by offering open-source data, code, and interactive tools, inviting global audiences to enhance and engage with its findings.
