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. For example, in scenarios like engineer job-hopping or donation allocation, Claude favors Anthropic, while Gemini and GPT-4o exhibit similar implicit biases. This unstated bias could mislead in real agent workflows.
