Bias Scores (Averaged Across Language Families in Original Prompting Method) Figure 5: Average Gender Bias Score by Language Family. Figure 5 confirms that females face more bias, especially in Indo-Aryan to-do lists. Our findings enforce that LLMs encode gendered expecta- tions more strongly in task-oriented texts, pa...
