LLM financial analysis shows bias from user context, not just evidence selection

A new arXiv paper investigates how Large Language Models (LLMs) are influenced by user context, such as role prompts and memory, when analyzing financial documents. Researchers found that the interpretation of evidence, rather than the selection of evidence, is the primary driver of differing conclusions across various LLM contexts. While mitigation strategies like framing the user's mindset as an investor profile and separating evidence-based outputs show some success, they do not entirely eliminate these biases, with effectiveness varying significantly among different models.
