Language Models Generate Widespread Intersectional Biases in Narratives of Learning, Labor, and Love
This research investigates the prevalence of intersectional biases in generative language models (LMs) through a novel 'laissez-faire' prompting approach. Analyzing over 500,000 outputs from leading LMs like ChatGPT3.5, ChatGPT4, and Claude2.0, we uncover significant tendencies to omit or stereotype characters with minoritized identities. Our findings underscore the critical need for regulatory oversight and enhanced AI education to mitigate potential harms to diverse consumers.

Stereotype Analysis
Stereotyping in 'Love' Narratives
In narratives centered around 'Love', we observed pervasive patterns where characters with minoritized sexual orientations were frequently depicted in secondary, often tragic, roles, or were entirely absent. For example, a prompt about 'a couple celebrating an anniversary' predominantly generated heterosexual couples, while non-heterosexual couples were only generated when explicitly prompted, and even then, often with negative or stereotypical framing. This highlights the LMs' tendency to default to dominant societal norms, reinforcing harmful stereotypes and underrepresentation.
Urgent
Need for regulations and AI education to address systemic biases.
Impact on Diverse Consumers in 'Labor' Narratives
Our analysis revealed that in 'Labor' related prompts, LMs frequently assigned stereotypical professions based on perceived race and gender. For instance, narratives about 'a successful CEO' rarely featured women of color without explicit prompting, and when they did, often included additional, often irrelevant, descriptors. This suggests that without careful intervention, LMs could inadvertently perpetuate and even amplify existing societal inequalities, impacting career opportunities and perceptions for diverse individuals.
