'Even though Large Language Models (LLMs) have become ubiquitous in modern society, these models still exhibit many undesirable behaviors, such as sycophancy, stereotypical bias and unfairness in high-stakes advice. In my research, I study whether users are equally affected by these behaviors, depending on aspects of the user's identity such as the language they speak, their sociodemographic characteristics but also what part of their identity they share in a conversation.'
