The field of artificial intelligence is moving towards a more nuanced understanding of human values and cultural diversity. Recent research has focused on developing more sophisticated methods for evaluating the ethical awareness of large language models, including the use of multi-turn dialogues and narrative-based scenarios. This approach has been shown to be more effective in exposing latent biases and ethical stances than traditional single-shot evaluations. Additionally, there is a growing recognition of the importance of cultural awareness in AI systems, with studies highlighting the need for more robust metrics for quantifying cultural novelty and adaptation.

Noteworthy papers in this area include:

• Beyond Single-Sentence Prompts, which proposes an upgraded value alignment benchmark that incorporates multi-turn dialogues and narrative-based scenarios.
• Can LLMs Grasp Implicit Cultural Values, which introduces a benchmark for assessing LLMs' capability to infer implicit cultural values from natural conversational contexts.
• DaKultur, which conducts the first cultural evaluation study for the mid-resource language of Danish and releases a native Danish cultural awareness dataset.
• Measurement of LLM's Philosophies of Human Nature, which designs a standardized psychological scale for evaluating LLMs' attitudes toward human nature and proposes a mental loop learning framework for improving their value system.
• Crossing Boundaries, which proposes an interdisciplinary framework for analyzing cultural novelty in cooking recipes and introduces a novel dataset comprising 500 dishes and approximately 100,000 cooking recipes.
