Defining and evaluating political bias in LLMs
OpenAI presents a comprehensive framework for defining and evaluating political bias in LLMs, introducing a 500-prompt evaluation spanning 100 topics across five bias axes. Results show GPT-5 models achieve 30% bias reduction compared to prior versions, with less than 0.01% of production ChatGPT responses exhibiting political bias.
