Amazon Study: LLMs Develop Systemic Sentiment Bias After Memorizing User Profiles

High-performance models provide more accurate sentiment interpretations for privileged groups, reinforcing social class disparities in their reasoning and suggestions. The team also released a new dataset to mitigate demographic impacts on models, accompanied by a paper and GitHub.
