A withdrawn research paper found that large language models (LLMs) reproduce racial stereotypes when used for text annotation. Across 19 LLMs and over 4 million annotation judgments, the study revealed that names associated with Black individuals were rated as more aggressive, while those linked to Asian individuals were perceived as more intelligent but less sociable. The research also indicated that texts in African American Vernacular English were judged as less professional and more toxic compared to Standard American English. AI
IMPACT Highlights the risk of embedding societal biases into AI-driven annotation systems, potentially impacting research, content moderation, and hiring.
