Researchers have developed a new metric, the Moral Sensitivity Index (MSI), to evaluate contextual bias in large language models. This index quantifies the probability of biased output across a seven-tier stress test, moving beyond a simple binary classification. Evaluations of models like Claude 3.5, Qwen 3.5, Llama 3, and Gemini 1.5 revealed distinct behavioral patterns influenced by their alignment designs, with Gemini 1.5 showing significant bias under socioeconomic framing and Claude exhibiting sharp suppression. Mechanistic analysis of criminal-bias scenarios confirmed these behavioral findings, indicating that reasoning distillation can reintroduce bias in models. AI
