Abstract

Natural language processing has advanced with AI-driven language models (LMs), that are applied widely from text generation to question answering. These models are pre-trained on a wide spectrum of data sources, enhancing accuracy and responsiveness. However, this process inadvertently entails the absorption of a diverse spectrum of viewpoints inherent within the training data. Exploring political leaning within LMs due to such viewpoints remains a less-explored domain. In the context of a low-resource language like Bangla, this area of research is nearly non-existent. To bridge this gap, we comprehensively analyze biases present in Bangla language models, specifically focusing on social and economic dimensions. Our findings reveal the inclinations of various LMs, which will provide insights into ethical considerations and limitations associated with deploying Bangla LMs.
