Language models can facilitate the creation of biased content or reinforce existing power imbalances in multiple ways. One of the most obvious is by reproducing existing word choices, language structures and writing conventions that are deeply embedded with societal biases, such as gender stereotypes and implicit racism. Additionally, models have a limited understanding of context and may misinterpret data when presented with information that doesn't fit into its training data set. For example, a model created with majority male imagery and language could infer dominant male tropes when faced with gender-uniformed language. Language models also tend to homogenize culture specific dialects or speech patterns making minority voices invisible within the model’s output resulting in yet another tool reinforcing existing power imbalances. Therefore it's important for those who create and use language models to take proactive steps to ensure they do not perpetuate harmful biases nor further oppress marginalized groups in their work.

Language models can be used to generate text quickly, which could lead to bias accidentally inserted into content, as well as unintentionally preserve the status quo which reinforces existing power imbalances. The risk of implicit bias in language modeling is particularly prevalent when using dataset training that contains existing stereotypical or biased representations of language. This poses a significant issue when using language models to generate meaningful and representative text when these biases are not actively identified and addressed. Additionally, the use of AI-based generation methods such as generative adversarial networks could lead content creators towards a path in which minority groups will be underrepresented in output data generated for populating databases or creating artificial intelligence datasets that reflect biased information. Such a situation perpetuates existing disparities by continuing with the privileged representation found in most datasets, leading to discriminatory outcomes such as predictive policing systems that lack transparency, accountability mechanisms and oversight necessary for justice and fairness. Thus it is important to consider potential biases inherent with language model development from diverse community standpoints through active involvement with various public-interest organizations aiming to promote civil rights protection by monitoring machine learning decisions with human-centered AI design strategies employed during product research stages so created artifacts do not become digital abstractions promoting unjustified discriminating outcomes from any form of unfair automation due solely on their linguistic characteristics alone resulting only into perpetuating past
