LLMs exhibit significant Western cultural bias, study finds
Georgia Tech researchers introduce CAMeL, a benchmark revealing significant Western cultural bias in AI language models, emphasizing the need for culturally-aware AI systems.
“Since LLMs are likely to have increasing impact through many new applications in the coming years, it is difficult to predict all the potential harms that might be caused by this type of cultural bias,” said Alan Ritter, one of the study’s authors, in an interview with VentureBeat. By leveraging CAMeL, the researchers assessed the cross-cultural performance of 12 different language models, including the renowned GPT-4, on a range of tasks such as story generation, named entity recognition (NER), and sentiment analysis. By prioritizing cultural fairness and investing in the development of culturally-aware AI systems, we can harness the power of these technologies to promote global understanding and foster more inclusive digital experiences for users worldwide.
