AI’s Next Frontier: World Models Explained by Christian Keller
Q: Do you think the biases in AI models are significant and what can we do about it?
All LLMs are biased because the data they use is biased. There are three ways to address this: filtering the input data, adjusting the embedding space in models, and teaching models to avoid certain responses during post-training.
