Under semantic underdetermination, LLMs cannot always guarantee strong correctness, strict non-bias, and high utility at once.
LLMs contain identifiable COCO neurons that enable implicit self-correction against stereotypes; targeted editing of these neurons improves fairness and robustness to jailbreaks while preserving generation quality.
Counterfactual prompting effects on LLMs are often indistinguishable from those caused by meaning-preserving paraphrases, causing most previously reported demographic sensitivities to disappear under proper statistical comparison.
A methodological framework detects subtle group-associated linguistic biases in LLM outputs by generating controlled synthetic minimal pairs, abstracting n-grams, and ranking high-signal fragments with a PMI variant for expert review.
Reasoning models expend more tokens on association-incompatible tasks than compatible ones, indicating greater effort on counter-stereotypical information, except for Claude 3.7 Sonnet which shows the reverse pattern linked to its bias-focused reasoning.
The authors provide a detailed taxonomy of 21 risks associated with language models, covering discrimination, information leaks, misinformation, malicious applications, interaction harms, and societal impacts like job loss and environmental costs.
Authors release a new 800-sentence gender-balanced profession dataset and use it to test occupational gender stereotypes in three sentiment analysis models.
Contextual embeddings are propagated through WordNet to produce full-coverage sense representations that let a simple k-NN classifier outperform prior neural WSD models.
