What is it about?
This paper explores the challenges of detecting political bias in LLMs, such as GPT, BERT or Llama, particularly when measuring how biased they are based on how they respond to political questions. A key finding is that small changes in the wording of these questions can significantly alter the answers provided by LLMs, which makes it difficult to determine whether a model is truly biased or simply reacting to the specific way a question is asked.

Why is it important?
This research is important because LLMs are increasingly used in decision-making, content generation, and public discourse, where political neutrality is crucial. If these models exhibit bias, they could influence opinions, amplify misinformation, or reinforce political polarization.
