Human-labeled benchmarks tailored to the specific use case data: one of our biggest challenges

While human-labeled benchmarks are essential for training robust LLMs, they are not without their flaws.

One of the most significant challenges is the inherent bias that can be introduced into datasets.

As creators of benchmarks, humans carry their own prejudices, stereotypes, and worldviews, which inevitably influence their labeling decisions.

These biases can be subtle or overt, but their impact on the resulting LLM can be profound.

Models trained on biased data will likely perpetuate and amplify those biases in their outputs.

This can lead to discriminatory outcomes in various applications, from hiring algorithms to lending decisions.
