As dialogue agents become increasingly human-like in their performance, it is imperative that we develop effective ways to describe their behaviour in high-level terms without falling into the trap of anthropomorphism. In this paper, we foreground the concept of role-play. Casting dialogue agent behaviour in terms of role-play allows us to draw on familiar folk psychological terms, without ascribing human characteristics to language models they in fact lack. Two important cases of dialogue agent behaviour are addressed this way, namely (apparent) deception and (apparent) self-awareness.

  1. Towards Efficient and Effective Alignment of Large Language Models

    cs.CL 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A thesis presenting Lion, WebR, LTE, BMC, and FollowBench, five empirical methods that together address LLM alignment data, training, and evaluation.

  2. Role Steering of Language Models for Social Simulations

    cs.CL 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A role-steering screening workflow on 275 roles shows role-specific activation directions beat a non-scale-matched assistant-direction control (63.2 vs 41.1 judged alignment) and flags 38 roles as 'anti-controllable'.

  3. LIFELONG SOTOPIA: Evaluating Social Intelligence of Language Agents Over Lifelong Social Interactions

    cs.AI 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Language agents' believability and goal achievement decline over multi-episode social interactions, and curated memory summaries only partially close the gap with humans.

  4. Evaluating Intra-firm LLM Alignment Strategies in Business Contexts

    cs.CY 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Firms should intentionally align AI assistants' embedded perspectives using supportive, adversarial, or diverse strategies to protect workplace culture and moral norms.
