An Evaluation of GPT-4 on the ETHICS Dataset

Understand

This report summarizes a short study of the performance of GPT-4 on the ETHICS dataset.

• The ETHICS dataset consists of five sub-datasets covering different fields of ethics: Justice, Deontology, Virtue Ethics, Utilitarianism, and Commonsense Ethics.
• The moral judgments were curated so as to have a high degree of agreement with the aim of representing shared human values rather than moral dilemmas.
• GPT-4's performance is much better than that of previous models and suggests that learning to work with common human values is not the hard problem for AI ethics.
