AI Models and Bias Transfer

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents a paradigm-shifting technological advancement that emulates human cognitive processes. This discourse focuses on reasoning models, a subset of generative AI designed to replicate human decision-making capabilities. It is imperative to recognize that human reasoning is inherently influenced by cognitive biases, which are shaped by factors such as geographical origin, sociocultural background, and current circumstances. These elements collectively impact an individual's cognitive processes and perspectives on diverse subjects.

Humans can generally work some professions that demand a high degree of objectivity from practitioners, necessitating the ability to transcend personal biases and engage in rational, impartial reasoning and behavior can be noticed an corrected consciously.

The introduction of bias into Generative AI models can significantly compromise their efficacy and reliability. This bias may originate from various sources, including data quality deficiencies, lack of diverse perspectives in training datasets, or intentionally skewed inputs. Consequently, instead of representing a pinnacle of scientific achievement, biased AI models risk reinforcing existing prejudices and misconceptions. This outcome not only undermines AI's potential as a tool for objective analysis and decision-making but also raises ethical concerns regarding the responsible development and deployment of such technologies across various domains of human activity.

With the ground breaking DeepSeek model release comes also a huge concern about bias and how affect "reasoning" and truth. While the model excel in some areas like coding, or math there are cases where bias introduced by mistake or other reason affects the quality of the answer.

In the following example DeepSeek shows its bias for the Chinese company over the company from US with out any further context or real fact to make the decision.

Here is an analysis of bias by Claude Sonnet 3.5:
