Gender bias in algorithms, LLMs, & NLP? We’re putting it under the microscope in our Methods Section at #ECPG26.
Have you seen these biases in your own research?
Come join the debate—submit your work by Nov 7!

Crazy exit poll in the Netherlands. D66 almost certainly the biggest party. PVV the big loser but other far right wins bit back (FvD & JA21).
Terrible night for the Dutch left and particularly GL/PvdA and Frans Timmermans.

There’s a growing & deeply problematic tendency to use #genAI for political and historical education Take this example from Germany, which translates as: «Hey AI, who should I vote for.» What’s typical here is that AI is not only addressed as pseudo-person but also as a kind of impartial judge

I thought with the rise of generative AI less social science students would be interested to actually learn programming but it feels like the complete opposite.
It does give me some hope.
