New benchmark reveals cross-lingual bias in LLMs

A new benchmark called INCLUDE has been developed to assess socio-cultural biases in Large Language Models (LLMs) across various Indian languages. Current safety alignment for LLMs is primarily English-focused, leading to potential harm when these models are used in multilingual contexts. The INCLUDE benchmark, comprising 2,604 prompts in English, Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, and Hinglish, was used to evaluate ten LLMs. Results indicated that Bengali showed the highest average bias in open-source models, while English exhibited the lowest bias in open-source models but the highest in closed-source models.

    Safety Alignment Illusion: The Cross-Lingual Safety Gap in LLMs

    arXiv:2608.18131v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Current safety alignment training for Large Language Models (LLMs) are heavily English-centric. When such safety filters fail for non-English languages, the consequences are immediate and user-facing: voice assistants and spoken dia…
