LLMs show geopolitical bias, favoring Western endorsements over China/Russia

A new study published on arXiv reveals that large language models exhibit geopolitical alignment, showing biases in their evaluations of policies based on the endorsing nation. GPT-5, Claude Sonnet, and Gemini consistently rated policies endorsed by China and Russia lower than those backed by the United States or the European Union. When models were asked to provide justifications, Western endorsements were often perceived as credibility cues, while Chinese and Russian endorsements triggered associations with data security, surveillance, or geopolitical risk, further highlighting the models' susceptibility to geopolitical influence.
