大型语言模型中刻板印象内容的分类体系

A Taxonomy of Stereotype Content in Large Language Models

Rutgers University(罗格斯大学);University of Washington(华盛顿大学)

Gandalf Nicolas, Aylin Caliskan

AI总结:

本研究通过提示三个主流 LLMs 对 87 个社会类别的特征关联,构建了包含 14 个维度的刻板印象分类体系,并验证了该多维分类体系能预测模型内部评价,为 AI 审计与去偏提供了更全面的框架。

摘要:

本研究提出了当代大型语言模型(LLMs)中刻板印象内容的分类体系。我们向 ChatGPT 3.5、Llama 3 和 Mixtral 8x7B 这三个强大且广泛使用的 LLMs 询问与 87 个社会类别(如性别、种族、职业)相关的特征。我们识别出 14 个刻板印象维度(如道德、能力、健康、信念、情绪),这些维度约占 LLM 刻板印象关联的 90%。温暖和能力方面是最常见的内容,但所有其他维度也显著普遍。LLMs 中的刻板印象比人类更积极,但在不同类别和维度之间存在显著差异。最后,该分类体系预测了 LLMs 对社会类别的内部评价(例如,类别被表征的积极/消极程度),支持了多维分类体系在刻画 LLM 刻板印象方面的相关性。我们的发现表明,高维的人类刻板印象反映在 LLMs 中,必须在 AI 审计和去偏中加以考虑,以尽量减少因依赖低维偏见视角而未被识别的危害。

英文摘要:

This study introduces a taxonomy of stereotype content in contemporary large language models (LLMs). We prompt ChatGPT 3.5, Llama 3, and Mixtral 8x7B, three powerful and widely used LLMs, for the characteristics associated with 87 social categories (e.g., gender, race, occupations). We identify 14 stereotype dimensions (e.g., Morality, Ability, Health, Beliefs, Emotions), accounting for ~90% of LLM stereotype associations. Warmth and Competence facets were the most frequent content, but all other dimensions were significantly prevalent. Stereotypes were more positive in LLMs (vs. humans), but there was significant variability across categories and dimensions. Finally, the taxonomy predicted the LLMs' internal evaluations of social categories (e.g., how positively/negatively the categories were represented), supporting the relevance of a multidimensional taxonomy for characterizing LLM stereotypes. Our findings suggest that high-dimensional human stereotypes are reflected in LLMs and must be considered in AI auditing and debiasing to minimize unidentified harms from reliance in low-dimensional views of bias in LLMs.
