arXiv:2511.06160v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While recent safety guardrails effectively suppress overtly biased outputs, subtler forms of social bias emerge during complex logical reasoning tasks that evade current evaluation benchmarks. To fill this gap, we introduce a new evaluation framework, PRIME (Puzzle Reasoning for Implicit Biases in Model Evaluation), that uses logic grid puzzles to systematically probe the influence of social stereotypes on logical reasoning and decision making in LLMs. Our use of logic puzzles enables automatic generation and verification, as well as va
The rapid advancement and deployment of LLMs necessitate more sophisticated and subtle evaluation methods to ensure ethical and unbiased AI, especially as explicit biases are increasingly suppressed.
Evaluating implicit biases in LLMs is crucial for developing trustworthy AI, preventing the perpetuation of societal harms through automated systems, and ensuring fairness in emerging AI applications.
The introduction of new evaluation frameworks like PRIME provides a systematic method to uncover subtle, implicit biases in LLMs that current benchmarks miss, pushing the frontier of AI ethics.
