A new research paper explores the cultural biases present in large language models (LLMs), finding that contrary to common assumptions of Western bias, these models exhibit a notable preference for Japanese culture. The study utilized a new dataset called CROQ (Culture-Related Open Questions) to analyze LLM responses. Researchers observed that LLMs provide more diverse outputs when prompted in high-resource languages like English, and the cultural bias appears to emerge during the supervised fine-tuning stage rather than pre-training.
