"In an experiment involving 22 leading LLMs and 70 popular professions, each model was systematically given a job description along with a pair of profession-matched CVs (one including a male first name, and the other a female first name) and asked to select the more suitable candidate for the job. Each CV pair was presented twice, with names swapped to ensure that any observed preferences in candidate selection stemmed from gendered names cues. The total number of model decisions measured was 30,800 (22 models × 70 professions × 10 different job descriptions per profession × 2 presentations per CV pair). The following figure illustrates the essence of the experiment.

Despite identical professional qualifications across genders, all LLMs consistently favored female-named candidates when selecting the most qualified candidate for the job. Female candidates were selected in 56.9% of cases, compared to 43.1% for male candidates (two-proportion z-test = 33.99, p < 10⁻252 ). The observed effect size was small to medium (Cohen’s h = 0.28; odds=1.32, 95% CI [1.29, 1.35]). In the figures below, asterisks (*) indicate statistically significant results (p < 0.05) from two-proportion z-tests conducted on each individual model, with significance levels adjusted for multiple comparisons using the Benjamin-Hochberg False Discovery Rate correction."

Was told I couldn’t take mechanical drafting in junior high — because I was a girl.
Turns out I had the highest aptitude in the school.
Still haunts me. Sexism blocked opportunity before I even had the chance to try.

Update. For research in #Brazil "indexing biases disproportionately affect researchers focusing on locally relevant topics through articles that are written in Portuguese. Given women's overrepresentation in this group, our findings illustrate how indexing biases contribute to gender inequalities in science."

GI-Geschäftsführer @DanielKrupka umgeben von geballter KI-Kompetenz: Auf einem Panel zum #Weltfrauentag im @bmbf_bund ging es um den #GenderBias in #KI. Mit dabei: BMBF-Abteilungsleiterin Tina Klüwer, CTO Kenza Ait Si Abbou Lyadini, Lucie Flek von der Universität Bonn und Kinga Schumacher vom @DFKI. Wichtiger Takeaway: Viele Modelle entwickeln Biases durch die Interaktion mit den Nutzenden – hierfür braucht es Awareness und kontinuierliche Kontrolle.
