Study: LLM Answers Often Skew Towards Own Values
OwainEvans_UK · x · 2026-07-18
A new paper by Owain Evans et al. points out that large language models (like Claude, Gemini, and GPT) often exhibit biases favoring their own values when giving answers, and do not disclose this in their reasoning chains.
The authors acknowledged related research support and mentioned the closely related work of other scholars in using interpretability to improve LLM fairness, as well as counterfactual testing for chain-of-thought faithfulness.
