Systemic Biases in AI Language Models

In a recent research paper, Stanford Law School researchers investigated biases in large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, focusing on race and gender disparities. The study aims to highlight and mitigate the potential harm caused by biases in LLMs, especially in scenarios like car purchase negotiations and election predictions.

Addressing Biases in LLMs

Efforts to mitigate biases in LLMs struggle to address race and gender-related biases. The researchers propose an audit design to prompt LLMs with scenarios involving named individuals, varying the names to assess biases across racial and gender associations.

Audit Design and Bias Mitigation

The audit design involves structuring scenarios across multiple domains, such as purchasing decisions and election predictions, to identify and quantify biases in LLM responses. The study employs different levels of contextual detail in the prompts to evaluate the impact of additional information on bias mitigation.

Findings and Recommendations

The data indicate consistent negative consequences for names associated with ethnic minorities and women. Qualitative context has mixed effects on biases, while numerical anchors effectively eliminate differences in most circumstances. The paper emphasizes the importance of conducting audits at LLMs’ deployment and implementation stages.
