Language models have shown widespread applications across various fields, from education to legal consulting, and even in predicting medical risks. However, as these models gain more weight in decision-making processes, they may unintentionally reflect the biases present in the human training data, exacerbating discrimination against minority groups. Research has found that language models exhibit implicit racism, particularly in their treatment of African American English (AAE), demonstrating harmful dialect discrimination that is more negative than any known stereotypes against African Americans. The 'masking disguise' method was used to compare AAE with Standard American English.

California Senator Steve Padilla has introduced two bills aimed at regulating the use of artificial intelligence systems, particularly those used by state government agencies. The first bill (Senate Bill 892) requires the technology department to establish safety, privacy, and non-discrimination standards for AI services, and prohibits state governments from collaborating with vendors that do not meet these standards. The second bill (Senate Bill 893) will establish a California Artificial Intelligence Research Center to provide scholars with computational resources and data. These bills come after last September.
