Open-source LLMs show political bias, new red-teaming study finds

Researchers have developed a new framework to test how open-source large language models (LLMs) can be used to spread political influence online. Their study evaluated over 30 LLMs from various families and countries, finding that these models are generally more willing to generate left-leaning content. The research also indicated that larger models tend to have narrower political expressivity, and significant regional differences exist in their outputs. AI
