| Challenge: | Anthropomorphism is commonplace in people's interactions with technology . anthropomorphizing language can suggest undue accountability and agency in technologies . |
| Approach: | They propose an automatic metric of implicit anthropomorphism in language . they use a masked language model to quantify how non-human entities are implicitly framed as human by the surrounding context. |
| Outcome: | The proposed metric measures how non-human entities are implicitly framed as human by the surrounding context. |

| Challenge: | anthropomorphism is an automatic and unconscious response that occurs even in advanced technical expertise. |
| Approach: | They argue that anthropomorphism is an automatic and unconscious response . they identify and examine five assumptions that shape research across the LLM development lifecycle . |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework challenges assumptions that shape research across the LLM development lifecycle and offers promising directions for LLMs. |
