When you work in design or tech, you work in politics by Maike Klip
I have been working as a service design researcher for almost ten years in governmental organisations. But since I tracked a month of my own digital relation with ‘the government’ I have a new look on how government services should be designed. In my talk I’m going to take you on a trip through the complex world of digital governmental services and how democratic principles and user research should complement each other. You will have a new look on service design and front end interaction and you will realise that working in design might even be more political than being a member of parliament.
On Second Thought, Let's Not Think Step by Step! Bias and Toxicity in Zero-Shot Reasoning
Generating a chain of thought (CoT) can increase large language model (LLM)
performance on a wide range of tasks. Zero-shot CoT evaluations, however, have
been conducted primarily on logical tasks (e.g. arithmetic, commonsense QA). In
this paper, we perform a controlled evaluation of zero-shot CoT across two
sensitive domains: harmful questions and stereotype benchmarks. We find that
using zero-shot CoT reasoning in a prompt can significantly increase a model's
likelihood to produce undesirable output. Without future advances in alignment
or explicit mitigation instructions, zero-shot CoT should be avoided on tasks
where models can make inferences about marginalized groups or harmful topics.
