The statement and accompanying image discuss the challenges and methodologies related to detecting and measuring implicit biases in large language models (LLMs), specifically focusing on a new model, GPT-4o. The statement raises concerns about the depth and detection of biases in these models, despite efforts to design them as unbiased. The preprint abstract provided in the image elaborates on the methods used to measure these biases and the findings that suggest persistent implicit biases in areas such as race, gender, and criminality.
