“You speak Bavarian? Then you must be uneducated + closed-minded.”

🤯 Not your opinion? Good. But it might be your LLM’s!!

🧵 Check out our #EMNLP2025 paper, where we uncover concerning dialect bias in recent LLMs - including GPT-5.

Wie divers sind eigentlich KI-Modelle – und warum spielt das eine Rolle? Unsere Forschung mit @a-lauscher.bsky.social and @carolin-holtermann.bsky.social zeigt, dass vielfältige Trainingsdaten entscheidend für faire und sichere KI-Systeme sind.

Mehr dazu: www.uni-hamburg.de/newsroom/for...

Wie schaffen wir eine KI, die kulturelle Vielfalt repräsentiert?

Anne Lauscher und Carolin Holtermann erforschen an der University of Hamburg Business School, wie man verzerrten KI-Darstellungen entgegenwirken kann.
