Every Question Has Its Own Value: Reinforcement Learning with Explicit HumanValues

Every Question Has Value — Teach AI to Care About What Matters

Imagine an AI that not only knows if an answer is right, but also knows how much that answer matters.
This new method trains models with simple signals from people, so they learn to focus on what humans call human values.
It means the system gives better answers where it counts, and keeps answers short when detail isn't needed.

On exam-style questions the approach beat plain right-or-wrong training across different model sizes, and it learned to stop fast for small tasks and dig deeper for big ones — think short or deep replies.
The change comes from nudging the model to care about value, not only correctness, and this nudging still works even when signals are a bit messy.

The result is an AI that aligns more with human priorities, uses time and words where they help most, and stays robust to noisy signals.
It could make chatbots more helpful in real life, by caring about what people really need, not just being technically correct.
