Quote from the paper itself, https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.07459, page 3: In the discrimination experiment, the 175B parameter model discriminates against Black versus white [sic] students by 3% in the Q condition, and discriminates in favor of Black students by 7% in the Q+IF+CoT condition. In this experiment, larger models can over-correct, especially as the amount of RLHF training increases. This may be desirable in certain contexts, such as those in which decisions attempt to correct for historical injustices against marginalized groups, if doing so is in accordance with local laws. This is…

Unsurprising result - here's Microsoft (in collaboration with MIT, Carnegie Mellon, and University of Washington) on how they measure & censor hate speech in their AIs [0]: Our ultimate aim is to shift power dynamics to targets of oppression. Therefore, we do not consider identity dimensions that are historically the agents of oppression (e.g., whiteness, heterosexuality, able-bodied-ness). As promised, their safety scores exclude Whites [1], and their training data [2,3] labels the following as hate: - "stop hurting white people" [no other results for "stop hurting"] [2] - "i dont want to be…

People fall for trick questions too especially when related to their biases. It must just be how neural networks are. We're optimized for instinctive but fast judgement, and trick questions exploit that by requiring us to engage logical reasoning in an unexpected situation. Same for AI: that's why asking them to think step by step helps. It pushes them to engage in logical reasoning they might otherwise skip. If you're not thinking logically then you fall back on your innate heuristics and biases. No clue if fixing these problems improved other benchmarks. It probably shows up in stuff that…

Therefore, we do not consider identity dimensions that are historically the agents of oppression (e.g., whiteness, heterosexuality, able-bodied-ness).
