Utilizing an LLM, it analyzes the subtleties and nuances of language to identify and amend any biases, racism, language inclusion, or other forms of discrimination, ensuring content adheres to ethical standards. Below, we outline the steps that detail the agent’s workflow, from the input of document drafts to continuous improvement.

Step 1: Document Input and Agent Activation

Step 2: Identification of Problematic Content

The agent uses an LLM to analyze documents to detect any discriminatory content based on predefined guidelines related to bias, racism, ableism, inclusivity, etc.

Key Tasks:

• Comprehensive Content Review: Utilizes an LLM to review and identify problematic phrases or contexts within the document. This comprehensive review includes:
  • Detection of Gender Bias: Scans for and identifies statements that perpetuate stereotypes or generalize gender roles.
  • Detection of Racial or Ethnic Bias: Identifies phrases or terms that could be perceived as stereotyping or discriminating against specific racial or ethnic groups.
  • Detection of Ableism: Flags language that may marginalize or exclude people with disabilities.
  • Detection of Generational Bias: Locates any broad generalizations or stereotypes about specific age groups.
  • Detection of Exclusionary Language: Searches for terms or phrases that exclude or discriminate against any group based on gender, race, ability, age, or other characteristics.
• Contextual Analysis: Conducts a thorough review of the context surrounding any flagged content to differentiate between harmful usage and necessary or idiomatic expressions.

Outcome:

• Detailed Content Review: Accurately identifies areas requiring modifications, setting the stage for corrective action.

Step 3: Regeneration of Correct Drafts

The LLM modifies and regenerates the problematic content to align with ethical guidelines and inclusive language practices.

Key Tasks:

• Context Preservation: Ensures modifications maintain the original intent and factual accuracy of the document.

Outcome:

• Document Correction: Produces an updated draft addressing all identified issues, ensuring the document is compliant and respectful.

After the new draft generation, the agent integrates user feedback to continuously improve the agent’s capability in identifying and correcting discriminatory content in documents.

Key Tasks:

• Feedback Collection: Users can provide feedback on the accuracy, contextual relevance and effectiveness of the discriminatory content identification and removal.
• Feedback Analysis and Learning: The agent analyzes feedback to identify prevalent issues and areas of contextual misinterpretation, pinpointing opportunities for refining its process.
