A new paper published on arXiv explores demographic biases within large language models (LLMs) when used for voter representation in digital democracy. The research found that LLMs can represent certain demographic groups more accurately than others, leading to potential unfairness. Removing features like gender or education from voter profiles significantly reduced these errors without sacrificing overall accuracy, while removing race increased errors. Standard AI alignment techniques, such as repeated queries or fairness instructions, proved ineffective and even exacerbated these disparities. AI
