Identifying High-Confidence Social Biases in LLMs for Trustworthy Conversational Tutoring Agents
Researchers have identified significant social biases in large language models (LLMs) used for conversational tutoring. These models often exhibit high confidence in their assessments, even when those assessments are biased, which can negatively impact the feedback provided to students. The study found that detecting these biases is more difficult in naturalistic tutoring conversations compared to standard benchmarks, and current LLMs are overconfident in their incorrect judgments.
