ChronoCulture: Evaluating Cultural Awareness Across Time in Large Language Models

Rusali Saha, Nitya Khurana, Ruihong Huang +1

Cultural attitudes and social norms evolve over time, yet most cultural benchmarks for large language models (LLMs) treat culture as a static attribute of a country or region. We i…
