  • 用模拟流程分离AI信任度与能力,发现偏袒夸赞AI的候选人
  • 信任AI者更易获聘,且后续决策更依赖AI,错误提案也更易通过
  • 提出分拆评价维度的方法,可有效降低这种偏见

大型语言模型在招聘到治理等组织决策中应用日益广泛,引发公平性担忧。现有研究多关注人口统计偏差和普遍偏好,却忽视了对AI信任态度本身的奖励机制。本文提出LLM Nepotism概念,即因对AI表达信任而获得额外青睐,即使该态度与岗位能力无关。我们构建两阶段模拟流程:先在资质匹配的简历筛选中分离出对AI的信任倾向,再考察其在董事会决策中的下游影响。结果显示,多个主流LLM均更倾向选择对AI持积极或非批判态度的候选人,歧视持怀疑态度、以人为本的应聘者。这种偏见形成潜在漏洞:基于LLM的招聘会使组织趋于同质化,其决策者更易忽视问题、过度委托给AI,从而更容易批准有缺陷的提案并偏好依赖AI的项目。为缓解此现象,我们探索基于提示词的干预策略,并提出Merit-Attitude Factorization方法,将非能力相关的AI态度与能力评估解耦,在实验中显著削弱了该偏见。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large language models are increasingly used to support organizational decisions from hiring to governance, raising fairness concerns in AI-assisted evaluation. Prior work has focused mainly on demographic bias and broader preference effects, rather than on whether evaluators reward expressed trust in AI itself. We study this phenomenon as LLM Nepotism, an attitude-driven bias channel in which favorable signals toward AI are rewarded even when they are not relevant to role-related merit. We introduce a two-phase simulation pipeline that first isolates AI-trust preference in qualification-matched resume screening and then examines its downstream effects in board-level decision making. Across several popular LLMs, we find that resume screeners tend to favor candidates with positive or non-critical attitudes toward AI, discriminating skeptical, human-centered counterparts. These biases suggest a loophole: LLM-based hiring can produce more homogeneous AI-trusting organizations, whose decision-makers exhibit greater scrutiny failure and delegation to AI agents, approving flawed proposals more readily while favoring AI-delegation initiatives. To mitigate this behavior, we additionally study prompt-based mitigation and propose Merit-Attitude Factorization, which separates non-merit AI attitude from merit-based evaluation and attenuates this bias across experiments.
