A Dual-Layered Evaluation of Geopolitical and Cultural Bias in LLMs (2025.acl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language models exhibit cultural and geopolitical biases when their outputs shape public opinion or reinforce dominant narratives. |
| Approach: | They define two types of bias in large language models: model bias and inference bias through a two-phase evaluation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework evaluates large language models on factual and disputable questions across four languages and question types. |
