A new research paper argues that major Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Copilot exhibit subtle, insidious biases that disadvantage the Global South. The study found that these models tend to reproduce racial hierarchies and gender asymmetries, often portraying women with richer inner lives while men are depicted as agents of action. Additionally, explanations of global economic structures frequently overlook perspectives from the Global South, instead favoring Western-centric frameworks. The authors advocate for a critical approach to adopting these technologies in universities, emphasizing the need for AI literacy that addresses which knowledge systems are being legitimized or undermined.
