Bengali AI models show identity biases despite similar data, study finds

A new paper investigates biases in sentiment analysis models for the Bengali language, a low-resource context. Researchers audited models like mBERT and BanglaBERT, fine-tuned on Bengali sentiment analysis datasets, and found they exhibited biases related to gender, religion, and nationality. The study also highlighted inconsistencies arising from combining pre-trained models and datasets created by individuals with diverse demographic backgrounds, linking these findings to broader discussions on epistemic injustice and AI alignment.
