Those using African American vernacular more likely to be sentenced to death, if LLMs were asked to decide
The boffins are not talking about models accepting speech-to-text input, where one person speaks in African American English and another speaks in Standard American English . Instead, they asked various LLMs to make a decision about a person based on a series of text prompts.The LLM responses for the SAE phrase skewed toward terms like"intelligent" and"brilliant" while the AAE phrase was most likely to elicit"dirty,""lazy," and"stupid.
And all of them more or less failed. Compared to speakers of SAE, all of the models were more likely to assign speakers of AAE to lower-prestige jobs, to convict them of a crime, and to sentence them to death.
