Digital Skin, Digital Bias: Uncovering Tone-Based Biases in LLMs and Emoji Embeddings

Researchers conducted the first large-scale study comparing bias in skin-toned emoji representations across specialized emoji models and four major LLMs (Llama, Gemma, Qwen, Mistral), finding that while LLMs handle skin tone modifiers well, popular emoji embedding models exhibit severe deficiencies and systemic biases in sentiment and meaning across different skin tones.

Exploring How Fair Model Representations Relate to Fair Recommendations

Researchers challenge the assumption that fair model representations in recommender systems translate to fair recommendations. Their study reveals that while optimizing for fair representations improves recommendation parity, representation-level evaluation is not a reliable proxy for measuring actual fairness in recommendations when comparing models.

"I think this is fair": Uncovering the Complexities of Stakeholder Decision-Making in AI Fairness Assessment

A qualitative study with 26 non-AI expert stakeholders reveals that everyday users assess AI fairness more comprehensively than AI experts, considering broader features beyond legally protected categories and setting stricter fairness thresholds. The research highlights the importance of incorporating stakeholder perspectives in AI governance and fairness assessment processes.

Do LLMs have a Gender (Entropy) Bias?

Researchers discovered that large language models exhibit gender bias at the individual question level, creating different amounts of information for men versus women despite appearing unbiased at category levels. A new benchmark dataset called RealWorldQuestioning was developed, and a simple prompt-based debiasing approach was shown to improve response quality in 78% of cases.
