Study Frames LLM Political Stance as Context-Dependent, Not Fixed
A new arXiv paper argues that a language model's political leanings are better described as a probability distribution that shifts with the prompt and surrounding context rather than a single stable viewpoint. The authors report empirical tests across nine current LLMs to support this framing of ideology as conditional on context. The work is positioned as a measurement approach for studying political behavior in models.
