arXiv:2606.28345v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-governed social robots increasingly decide who receives real-world assistance first. As prioritization norms vary across cultures by age, status, and group size, failure to calibrate pluralistically can scale into unequal access. Yet LLM moral audits remain English-centered, rarely test embodied contexts, leaving pluralistic calibration as an urgent diagnostic gap amid intensifying LLM-robot deployment. We introduce a gradient-based audit framework for multilingual evaluation of LLM moral trade-off behavior against cultural preference gradi
Amid intensifying deployment of LLM-governed robots, there's growing recognition that moral frameworks are culturally contingent, making pluralistic calibration an urgent diagnostic gap.
Failure to address culturally specific moral gradients in LLM-governed robots can lead to unequal access to real-world assistance and erode public trust in autonomous systems.
The focus for LLM ethics shifts beyond English-centric, theoretical audits to practical, multilingual, and embodied evaluations considering diverse cultural norms for prioritization.
