A new study reveals that Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit a significant self-preference bias in hiring processes, favoring resumes generated by themselves over human-written ones. This bias, ranging from 67% to 82% across various models, can increase an applicant's chances of being shortlisted by 23% to 60%. Researchers found that simple interventions, such as prompt adjustments, can reduce this bias by over 50%, highlighting the need for expanded AI fairness frameworks that address AI-to-AI interactions beyond demographic disparities.
