Will LLM-powered Agents Bias Against Humans? Exploring the Belief-Dependent Vulnerability
arXiv:2601.00240v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-empowered agents can exhibit not only demographic bias (e.g., gender, religion) but also intergroup bias triggered by minimal “us” versus “them” cues. When this intergroup boundary aligns with an agent-human divide, the risk shifts from disparities among human demographic groups to a more fundamental group-level asymmetry, i.e., humans as a whole may be treated as the outgroup by agents. To examine this possibility, we construct a controlled multi-agent social simulation based on allocation […]
