From the way we brush our teeth in the morning to how we fall asleep at night, there\u2019s an app, smart appliance or other digital service purporting to help us do it better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these tools may offer certain benefits, it\u2019s not without the potential to cause harm. Perhaps no technology today is more hotly debated for its risk versus utility than artificial intelligence. Despite the endless possible positive applications of AI, the risks can include everything from intellectual property theft and misinformation to its threats to jobs and the environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>足彩app哪个是正规的 potential for bias is another challenge that AI presents \u2014 one that Dr. Afra Mashhadi, assistant professor in the University of Washington Bothell\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of STEM,<\/a> has made the central focus in her latest research.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Guardians of technology<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A researcher and educator, Mashhadi is passionate about advocating for ethics and diversity in computing. Her research focuses on computational behavioral modeling and ethical AI, with a particular interest in generative AI.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GenAI, or AI systems capable of generating new content, has made significant strides in recent years and has exploded in popularity in the form of widely used tools such as ChatGPT, a chatbot that uses large language models to generate human-like text responses. 足彩app哪个是正规的 rapid speed with which the technology continues to evolve and expand, however, often leaves ethical checks and balances in the dust, Mashhadi said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople need to know whether these tools they\u2019re using are biased, whether they\u2019re trustworthy or not,\u201d she said. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的 companies that are creating these models, they\u2019re not going to be the ones that look at the safety of them. I think universities have a powerful and important role to play, which cannot be substituted by industry where they have different priorities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the university system, we are like the guardians of technology,\u201d she noted. \u201cIt\u2019s for us to examine and audit these models to understand how we can make them better.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her latest research \u2014 \u201cAuditLab: Algorithm and Tools for Measuring Biases of GenAI Models\u201d \u2014 Mashhadi collaborated with Dr. Chirag Shah, a professor at the UW\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ischool.uw.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Information School<\/a>, and a team of student researchers to create a set of algorithms and methods for evaluating how large language models perform in social reasoning domains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Collaborative research<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>足彩app哪个是正规的 AuditLab project was funded through UW Bothell\u2019s Scholarship, Research and Creative Practice Grant Program, which provided financial support for student researchers and other resources. It was also made possible through the collaboration across schools, Mashhadi added, as the iSchool provided the infrastructure and dedicated server access needed to run larger models.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mashhadi, who is also an adjunct professor at the iSchool, brought students from both schools onto the project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI came to the Computer Science program at UW Bothell primarily to go deeper into natural language processing, so work in this area was a career goal from the start,\u201d said Maryna Sivachenko, (Computer Science &amp; Software Engineering \u201925). \u201cI was extremely happy that I was able to join this project to examine what\u2019s behind this tool that people use but don\u2019t understand how it\u2019s performing, what the pitfalls and limitations are, and how can we do better right now.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early research for the project, the group focused mainly on demographic biases, such as gender and ethnicity. What they found was that the two large language models they examined both tended to produce more accurate links in co-authorship networks for individuals with Asian or white names, particularly among researchers with lower visibility or limited academic impact. 足彩app哪个是正规的 team recently <a href=\"https:\/\/epjdatascience.springeropen.com\/articles\/10.1140\/epjds\/s13688-025-00555-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">published these findings<\/a> in the European Physical Journal Data Science.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As they continued their research, their focus shifted to another aspect of potential bias \u2014 a misalignment in understanding human language and behavior.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;We as humans are the gatekeepers of this AI output, and there\u2019s a lot of room to grow this research.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Elias Martin, MS in Computer Science &amp; Software Engineering \u201925\u00a0<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>足彩app哪个是正规的ory of mind<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t know how much natural language understanding these LLMs have, so our motivation was to explore that alignment,\u201d said Maryam Amirizaniani, a doctoral student at the iSchool. \u201c足彩app哪个是正规的re are many different applications of LLMs, and if industry and even academia are going to use them as a service provider for customer service or answering mental health questions or educational tutoring, they need to have a human understanding.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To evaluate how closely LLMs align with human understanding, the team looked to the theory of mind, which refers to the capacity for humans to recognize that people have different beliefs, desires, intentions and emotions from one another. 足彩app哪个是正规的y discovered that the LLMs often fell short in their understanding when compared to human responses to open-ended questions on platforms such as Lemmy and Reddit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking to help close the gap, the team again looked to the theory of mind by creating a method for identifying relevant information about the user\u2019s mental state to feed back into the models.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe collected data from social forums like Reddit and Lemmy and tried to extract some implicit information that exists in the user\u2019s questions \u2014 like their emotions and the intentions they have behind the question and the sentiment that exists \u2014 and then gave it to the LLMs as main points for consideration,\u201d Amirizaniani said. \u201cWhen we applied this framework, their understanding about humans improved, and they could generate more human-like answers.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>足彩app哪个是正规的 team presented its findings at two major conferences and has additional papers on their way to being published.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor me, as someone who hadn\u2019t done research like this before, it was super exciting to have this option and to be the only person at the conference at a bachelor\u2019s level,\u201d Sivachenko said. \u201cI really loved this reasoning alignment topic because of my curiosity about the natural language understanding of machines and how they can be better or worse depending on certain factors.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A seed planted<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the project findings provide valuable information for helping to improve generative AI, there\u2019s still a lot of research to be done. One of the biggest challenges to the field is how quickly it continues to advance, said Elias Martin, who graduated with his master\u2019s in Computer Science &amp; Software Engineering from UW Bothell in June.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs these large language models and other AI keep getting added to new contexts and applied in new ways, new biases are surfacing every day,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s really challenging to keep up with how much data is being generated and effectively review it all, but ultimately, we as humans are the gatekeepers of this AI output, and there\u2019s a lot of room to grow this research.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mashhadi\u2019s students all noted an interest in continuing to do research in this area, and they centered their capstone projects around the topic as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really honored that my students who were on this project decided to work on related topics on their capstone.
