Same Chart, Different Story: Bias in Vision-Language Chart Interpretation

Mizanur Rahman, Huan Wu, Arash Asgari +2

Vision-language models (VLMs) are increasingly used to interpret charts and generate natural-language explanations for socially consequential data. However, they may produce differ…

LLMs Silently Correct African American English: Auditing and Mitigating Dialect Bias via Activation Steering

Huan Wu, Ali Emami, Muhammad Furquan Hassan +5

African American English (AAE), a rule-governed dialect spoken by over 30 million people, is routinely misinterpreted and "corrected" by large language models (LLMs). Across six in…

Training Therapeutic Judges and Multi-Agent Systems for Human-Aligned Mental Health Support

Mizanur Rahman, Abeer Badawi, Elahe Rahimi +4

Large language models show promise for mental health support, yet therapeutic quality improves only when evaluation functions as an actionable control signal rather than a passive…

Towards Understanding and Measuring COGNITIVE ATROPHY in LLM Behaviour

Abeer Badawi, Moyosoreoluwa Olatosi, Negin Baghbanzadeh +5

Recent incidents involving LLMs used for mental-health support reveal a critical evaluation gap: surface-level safety scores do not capture how models behave across realistic, emot…

Algorithms Trained on Normal Chest X-rays Can Predict Health Insurance Types

Chi-Yu Chen, Rawan Abulibdeh, Arash Asgari +8

Artificial intelligence is revealing what medicine never intended to encode. Deep vision models, trained on chest X-rays, can now detect not only disease but also invisible traces…

We Politely Insist: Your LLM Must Learn the Persian Art of Taarof

Nikta Gohari Sadr, Sahar Heidariasl, Karine Megerdoomian +2

Large language models (LLMs) struggle to navigate culturally specific communication norms, limiting their effectiveness in global contexts. We focus on Persian taarof, a social nor…

Template-Based Probes Are Imperfect Lenses for Counterfactual Bias Evaluation in LLMs

Farnaz Kohankhaki, D. B. Emerson, Jacob-Junqi Tian +2

Bias in large language models (LLMs) has many forms, from overt discrimination to implicit stereotypes. Counterfactual bias evaluation is a widely used approach to quantifying bias…

Benchmarking bias: Expanding clinical AI model card to incorporate bias reporting of social and non-social factors

Carolina A. M. Heming, Mohamed Abdalla, Shahram Mohanna +8

Clinical AI model reporting cards should be expanded to incorporate a broad bias reporting of both social and non-social factors. Non-social factors consider the role of other fact…

Towards Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence for Equitable Global Health

Hong Qin, Jude Kong, Wandi Ding +14

Artificial intelligence (AI) can potentially transform global health, but algorithmic bias can exacerbate social inequities and disparity. Trustworthy AI entails the intentional de…
