Are AI chatbots biased?
Yes, AI chatbots (powered by large language models or LLMs) exhibit various biases, though the nature, degree, and direction vary by model, topic, and version. These are well-documented in research and stem primarily from training data and alignment processes. Biases are not always intentional or uniform, and developers actively work to mitigate them, but residual issues persist.
