Our paper on anti-LGBTQ bias in German & multilingual LMs has been accepted to EMNLP 2026! The work started as the Master’s thesis of one of our students. The findings highlight why multilingual bias evaluation must go beyond translating English benchmarks and involve the communities represented.
Evaluating and Mitigating Anti-LGBTQ Biases in German and Multilingual Language Models
While gender and racial biases in language models have been widely studied, anti-LGBTQ biases remain underexplored, particularly beyond English. Existing benchmarks often do not capture cultural and l...

In light of OpenAI’s “runaway” AI, a local newspaper asked me whether we’ve lost control of AI.
We’ll see more AI-driven hacks. It's important to take a close look: A model optimized to find vulnerabilities, stripped of safeguards, and without oversight, isn’t rogue AI. It’s human negligence.

KIs brechen aus Testbereichen aus – Marburger Experte: „Das wird öfter passieren“
Im Juli 2026 brachen mehrfach KIs aus geschützten Testbereichen aus und streiften auf eigene Faust durch das Internet. Ob wir die Kontrolle über die KI verlieren, erklärt der Informatiker und KI-Forsc...

Hey @aclrollingreview.bsky.social, is it intentional that reviewers can now see an author's country of origin (and visa requirements)? That seems like information that should be hidden from reviewers in a double-blind review process.

Are LLMs “Yes Sayers”?
Humans often show acquiescence bias, i.e. prefer positive answers in questionnaires and surveys regardless of their actual belief. We investigated if LLMs show a similar bias and found: they’re disproportionately likely to answer “No,” even when the meaning flips.

* shows via a structured survey that perhaps 0.1% of ACL Anth papers measure real-world impact
