SUMMARY:Zackary DUNIVIN (University of Stuttgart) - "What is the role of social identity in LLMs?"
DESCRIPTION:Sociology Seminar \nTime: 10:00 am – 11:00 am\nDate: 25th of March\nRoom : 3049 \n  \nZackary DUNIVIN (University of Stuttgart) – “What is the role of social identity in LLMs?” \nAbstract :  \nFrontier language models don’t simply generate text. LLMs perform sociocultural sensemaking\, drawing on shared cultural patterns (e.g.\, roles\, norms\, social identity) to interpret situations and determine appropriate responses. This poses a governance problem. Identity can be necessary for ethical and competent judgment in context\, yet the dominant paradigm for regulating identity\, bias mitigation\, treats it mainly as a contaminant to suppress and evaluates systems largely via end outputs. That leaves underspecified how models should decide when identity is relevant\, how to reason under uncertainty and unequal power\, and how to justify and revise their stance. I call this problem bias negotiation: the procedural regulation of identity-conditioned judgments of relevance\, inference\, and justification. Bias negotiation matters for justice because a positive role for sociocultural reasoning is required to recognize and potentially remediate structural inequities. But it is equally implicated in core model functionality as sociocultural competence is critical in systems that operate across heterogeneous institutions and cultural contexts. Drawing on structured dialogues with multiple deployed chatbots\, I identify recurring negotiation repertoires and failure modes\, and conclude with specifications that support implementation and procedural evaluation design. \n  \nOrganizers: \nEtienne OLLION (Pôle sociologie CREST)\n \nPaola TUBARO (Pôle sociologie CREST) \nNicolas JULIA (Pôle sociologie CREST) \nPatrick PRÄG (Pôle sociologie CREST) \nSponsors:\nCREST \n
