Researchers have developed a new framework to audit Large Language Model (LLM)-governed social robots, focusing on culture-specific moral decision-making. The framework addresses the current English-centric bias in LLM moral audits by evaluating how robots prioritize assistance across different cultural contexts, such as Standard Chinese and Japanese. Findings indicate that LLMs struggle to consistently track cultural norms related to age and status, with Western-language decisions showing nearly twice the quality calibration compared to Chinese and Japanese. While certain prompting techniques like contrastive exemplars show promise, prompting alone is insufficient to reliably correct these cross-cultural gradient failures, suggesting that model-level adjustments are more effective.
