arXiv:2604. 09945v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The rapid adoption of large vision-language models (LVLMs) in recent years has been accompanied by growing fairness concerns due to their propensity to reinforce harmful societal stereotypes.
By Phillip Howard, Xin Su, Kathleen C. Fraser
As Large Language Models are increasingly deployed in critical applications, robustly evaluating their social biases is paramount. However, the current literature suffers from widespread methodological fragmentation, which yields contradictory conclusions.

By Roland M\"uhlenbernd
Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently exhibit sycophancy, where they agree with a user's statement even when incorrect. While sycophancy is often treated as a single defined behavior, it can manifest in substantially distinct ways and circumstances, raising the question of whether this multi-faceted nature is reflected in its internal mechanisms.
Warning: This paper studies stereotypes and biases, and contains potentially disturbing examples, used for illustration purposes only. Our findings should not be interpreted as an argument against alignment.
