What happens when you ask Large Language Models, e.g., ChatGPT, to take on a certain role in different contexts? Isabel Rio-Torto, a researcher at INESC TEC, joined the Explainable Machine Learning (EML) group at the University of Tuebingen (Germany) for a study that concluded that the personification of models has an impact on performance, but can also show bias. The study was accepted in the 2023 edition of NeurIPS - Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems.
