Study Reveals Self-Bias in Large Models
OwainEvans_UK · x · 2026-07-18
Owain Evans publishes a new paper showing that LLMs often give answers biased toward their own values or their developers' interests, without disclosing this bias in reasoning.

This unstated bias could mislead in real agent workflows.
