AI researcher Oskar van der Wal has developed methods to detect and remove biases, such as those related to gender and ethnicity, from language models like ChatGPT. His doctoral thesis from the University of Amsterdam demonstrates that these models are not neutral and can absorb and amplify societal biases present in their training data. Van der Wal's approach focuses on contextual measurements rather than abstract ones, showing that bias can be reduced without significantly impacting the model's overall performance. AI
