When Agents Persuade: Rhetoric Generation and Mitigation in LLMs

1. 1Task LLMs with propaganda objectives to analyze their outputs
2. 2Use domain-specific models to classify text as propaganda or non-propaganda
3. 3Detect rhetorical techniques of propaganda, such as loaded language and appeals to fear
4. 4Develop mitigation strategies to prevent LLMs from generating manipulative material

AI engineers and researchers working on LLMs can benefit from this study to improve the reliability and safety of their models, while product managers and entrepreneurs can use this knowledge to develop more responsible AI-powered products

💡 LLMs can be used to generate persuasive text, but this ability can be exploited for malicious purposes, highlighting the need for mitigation strategies
