Fairness Beyond Anonymization? Demographic Leakage in German LLM-Generated Resumes

The study audits demographic leakage in German-language resumes generated by large language models. Using ChatGPT, Gemini, and Qwen 3 variants, the authors generate resumes from anonymized profiles, varying only gender- and ethnicity-associated names while keeping qualifications constant. Even after anonymization and gender-neutralization, classifiers can reliably distinguish male- from female-generated resumes, driven by subtle differences in gender-neutral terminology rather than overtly gendered wording; ethnicity-related leakage remains weak.

Attribution Bias in Large Language Models

The paper introduces AttriBench, a benchmark dataset that balances author fame and demographics to study quote attribution in large language models (LLMs). Using AttriBench, the authors evaluate 11 popular LLMs and find that accurate attribution remains difficult, with significant disparities across race, gender, and intersectional groups. They also identify a new failure mode—suppression—where models omit attribution entirely, which is unevenly distributed across demographics and not reflected by standard accuracy metrics.

Let's Unlearn Stereotypes Before Decision-Making: Assessing the Impact of Intrinsic Bias Mitigation on Downstream Fairness in LLMs

arXiv:2509. 16462v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in high-stakes decision-making systems, where biased predictions can reinforce social and economic disparities.
