LLM financial analysis shows bias from user context, study finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A new study published on arXiv investigates how Large Language Models (LLMs) are influenced by user context, such as memory and role prompts, when performing financial analysis. Researchers tested twelve LLMs using 3,575 SEC filings and found that the models' interpretations of evidence varied significantly based on the assigned role, more so than the evidence retrieved. While mitigation strategies like framing the user's mindset as an investor profile or separating personalized outputs showed some success, they did not entirely eliminate these biases across all tested models.
