According to new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, large language artificial intelligence models, such as ChatGPT, often misjudge what people outside the West might value as a moral priority. In 2024, researchers asked OpenAI's GPT-3.5, GPT-4 and GPT-4o models to estimate the moral norms of 48 nations and compared them with a global sample of over 90,000 human participants. Both groups completed a moral foundations questionnaire measuring endorsement of six moral values: care, equality, proportionality, loyalty, authority, and purity. The models systematically emphasized values such as care while placing less emphasis on values such as purity, and overestimated the broad moral concerns of Western nations like the U.S. and Australia while underestimating those of non-Western nations like Morocco and Nigeria. Even when prompted to respond as an average citizen of a particular country, the models systematically aligned more with Western patterns of moral values, consistent with earlier research showing GPT's "psychology" as more aligned with Western individuals.
