LLMs internalize legal factors and develop AI recommendation bias, new papers reveal

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Two new arXiv papers explore the internal workings of large language models (LLMs). The first paper investigates whether LLMs develop internal representations for legal factors, finding that specific legal concepts from the CATO framework are decodable in models like Qwen3 and Gemma-2. The second paper examines why LLMs tend to recommend AI-related topics, concluding that this tendency originates in pretraining and is further shaped by fine-tuning data and question phrasing. AI

IMPACT These studies offer insights into how LLMs process complex information and develop biases, potentially guiding future model development and interpretation.

    Where Do Legal Factors Live in LLMs?

    arXiv:2610.28799v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In case-based legal reasoning, legal professionals identify legally significant fact patterns in a new dispute and compare them with those of decided cases. In AI & Law, HYPO dimensions and CATO factors represent these patterns symb…

    Where Do LLMs Learn to Recommend AI?

    arXiv:2610.29785v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Asked what to study, which career to pursue, or what product to build, large language models (LLMs) often recommend AI-related options. We ask where this tendency comes from by comparing models before and after fine-tuning and by va…
