StereoTales shows that all tested LLMs emit harmful stereotypes in open-ended stories, with associations adapting to prompt language and targeting locally salient groups rather than transferring uniformly across languages.

Evalet applies functional fragmentation to deliver fragment-level qualitative analysis of LLM evaluations, with a user study showing 48% more misalignment detections than holistic scoring.
Frontier LLMs exhibit bias from stigmatizing language in clinical vignettes across four conditions, skewing decisions toward less aggressive management, with limited mitigation from Chain-of-Thought or self-debiasing prompts.
Explicit demographic statements trigger higher refusal rates and lower semantic similarity in LLMs than implicit dialect cues, which reduce refusals but also reduce content sanitization.
Multi-agent systems amplify minor stochastic biases into systemic polarization via echo-chamber effects in structured workflows, even with neutral agents.
Empirical study across 10 tasks showing bias inheritance from LLM-augmented data harms related downstream performance, with three misalignment factors and three mitigation strategies identified.
MLLMs show stochastic collapse with top-1 probabilities up to 97% and low randomness indices when choosing among equivalent options.
PCT is a reinforcement learning approach that trains LLMs for symmetric sentiment and helpfulness across paired opposing political prompts, reducing covert bias while preserving general performance.
All five tested LLMs deviated from US race-stratified disease distributions in synthetic case generation, while retrieval-based agentic workflows improved mean p-value by 0.0348, median p-value by 0.1166, and mean difference by 0.0949 for DeepSeek V3 in diagnosis ranking.
LLMs exhibit persistent inertia in value orientations, with harm avoidance and fairness remaining skewed across persona prompts.
