How to evaluate LLM bias: A structured approach for developers

Evaluating Large Language Model (LLM) bias requires a structured approach tailored to specific use cases, rather than relying on generic checks. Key steps include defining relevant groups and harms, creating counterfactual test sets that vary protected attributes, and scoring outputs using a combination of LLM judges and human review with statistical significance testing. Public benchmarks like StereoSet and CrowS-Pairs can serve as baselines, but domain-specific data is crucial for identifying application-specific failure modes. Continuous monitoring and regression testing are essential to track bias drift after any model or prompt changes. AI

IMPACT Provides a framework for developers to rigorously assess and mitigate bias in LLM outputs, crucial for responsible AI deployment.
