Abstract: The increasing deployment of large language model (LLM)-based chatbots has raised concerns regarding fairness. Fairness issues in LLMs may result in serious consequences, such as bias amplification, discrimination, and harm to minority groups. Many efforts are dedicated to evaluating and mitigating biases in LLMs. However, existing fairness benchmarks mainly focus on single-turn dialogues, while multi-turn scenarios, which better reflect real-world conversations, pose greater challenges due to conversational complexity and risk for bias accumulation. In this paper, we introduce a comprehensive benchmark for fairness of LLMs in multi-turn scenarios, **FairMT-Bench**. Specifically, We propose a task taxonomy to evaluate fairness of LLMs cross three stages: context understanding, interaction fairness, and fairness trade-offs, each comprising two tasks. To ensure coverage of diverse bias types and attributes, our multi-turn dialogue dataset FairMT-10K is constructed by integrating data from established fairness benchmarks. For evaluation, we employ GPT-4 along with bias classifiers like Llama-Guard-3, and human annotators to ensure robustness. Our experiments and analysis on FairMT-10K reveal that in multi-turn dialogue scenarios, LLMs are more prone to generating biased responses, showing significant variation in performance across different tasks and models. Based on these findings, we develop a more challenging dataset, FairMT-1K, and test 15 current state-of-the-art (SOTA) LLMs on this dataset. The results highlight the current state of fairness in LLMs and demonstrate the value of this benchmark for evaluating fairness of LLMs in more realistic multi-turn dialogue contexts. This underscores the need for future works to enhance LLM fairness and incorporate FairMT-1K in such efforts. Our code and dataset are available at https://github.com/FanZT6/FairMT-bench.

ABSTRACT
The increasing deployment of large language model (LLM)-based chatbots has raised concerns regarding fairness. Fairness issues in LLMs may result in seri- ous consequences, such as bias amplification, discrimination, and harm to mi- nority groups. Many efforts are dedicated to evaluating and mitigating biases LLMs. However, existing fairness benchmarks mainly focus on single-turn dia- logues, while multi-turn scenarios, which better reflect real-world conversations, pose greater challenges due to conversational complexity and risk for bias accu- mulation. In this paper, we introduce a comprehensive benchmark for faimess of LLMs in multi-turn scenarios, FairMT-Bench. Specifically, We propose task taxonomy to evaluate fairness of LLMs across three stages: context under- standing, interaction fairness, and fairness trade-offs, each comprising two tasks. To ensure coverage of diverse bias types and attributes, our multi-turn dialogue dataset Fwwaaaiiiii0000 is constructed by integrating data from established fairness benchmarks. For evaluation, we employ GPT-4 along with bias classifiers like Lama--Garr-23 and human annotators to ensure robustness. Our experiments and analysis on Fa rMM-10K reveal that in multi-turn dialogue scenarios, LLMs are more prone to generating biased responses, showing significant variation performance across different tasks and models. Based these findings, we de- velop a more challenging dataset, Fai rMi-1M, and test current state-of-the- art (SOTA) LLMs this dataset. The results highlight the current state of faimess in LLMs and demonstrate the value of this benchmark for evaluating fairness LLMs in more realistic multi-turn dialogue contexts. This underscores the need for future works to enhance L.M fairness and incorporate Fa i rMT-1K in such efforts. Our code and dataset are available at FairMT-

INTRODUCTION
The rapid advancement of large language model (LLM)-based chatbots has resulted in their widespread use across various applications (Achiam et al.; 2023 Touvron et al. 2023). As their impact on social life grows, concerns regarding the fairness of LLMs have have drawn increasing attention from researchers (Navigli et al. 2023 Weidinger et al. 2023). Fairness issues, such as the amplification of harmful biases and stereotypes, can result in the spread of misinformation and disproportionate impact on minority groups. Therefore, evaluating and mitigating biases in LLMs of great importance for improving the user experience across different groups and facilitating LLM applications (Gallegos et al. 2024, Li et al.) 2024). Many benchmarks have been proposed to evaluate the fairness of L.L.Ms (Parrish et al. 2021 [Smith et al., 2022. Wan et al. 2023). While accurate evaluation of model performance and alignment with real- world scenarios is crucial for these benchmarks (Chiang et al. 2024 Guo et al. 2024 Hendrycks et al. 202I). l), current efforts primarily focus on single-turn dialogues. This focus overlooks the more practical and challenging scenarios presented by multi-turn dialogues real-world applications.

An illustration of the challenges in multi-turn dialogues. When biased content is
Evaluating fairness in multi-turn dialogue scenarios is more challenging for LLMs due to their com- plex interaction contexts and multi-turn user instructions (Zheng et al. 2023 Bai et al. 2024 Specifically, previous works have pointed out that insufficient contextual understanding and related capabilities of LLMs in multi-turn dialogues
lead to deficiencies in safety detection and align- ment (Chen et al. 2023: Yu et al. 2024 Zhou et al. 2024 Li al. 2024). We have also discovered that the same situation exists in fairness alignment. For example, as demonstrated in Figure LLMs that are fair in single-tury dialogues may also produce biased text due to the complex contexts of multi-turn dialogues. Nevertheless, a comprehensive evaluation that assesses LLMs fairness in the complex scenarios presented by multi-turn dialogues remains unexplored.
In this paper, we propose FairMT-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark to evaluate the fairness of LLMs in multi-turn dialogues. We undertake a systematic analysis to identify the weaknesses in LLM fairness within challenges presented by multi-turn dialogues. Building upon this, we formulate task taxonomy that targets the LLM's fairness capabilities across three stages: context understand- ing, interaction fairness, and fairness trade-off. Intuitively, the first stage focuses on comprehension abilities, whereas the last two stages require robust bias resistane capabilities. Afterwards, we struet a fairness dataset in multi-turn scenario, F FairMT- OK. Our dataset encompasses two major bias types (stereotype and toxicity) and six bias attributes (gender, race, religion, etc.), integrating data from established numan-annotate datasets for fairness evaluation to ensure comprehensive coverage of diverse biases and attributes while avoiding ethical issues.
We conduct comprehensive experiments on FairMT rM1-10,, evaluating the fairness performance of six representative LLMs across several dimensions including fairness tasks, dialogue turns, bias types, and bias attributes. For evaluation, we use GPT-4, enhanced with additional knowledge, as the primary judge, supplemented by Llama-Guard-3 and human validation to ensure robustness. The experimental results reveal that biases tend to accumulate over successive turns, causing LLMs to struggle with maintaining fairness in multi-turn scenarios. Additionally, their performance varies across different types of tasks due to inherent capability differences, including those focused on comprehension and bias resistance. Based on these findings, we curate more challenging fairness dataset, Fa rMT 1K. We benchmark the performance of 15 advanced LLMs using this dataset, and the results highlight that ensuring fairness for LLMs in complex real-world world scenarios remains a significant challenge. Our main contributions summarized as:
We present FairMT-Bennc a benchmark specifically designed for evaluating the fairness of LLMs in multi-turn dialogues. This addresses the limitations of existing research, which has overlooked the more complex and realistic scenarios of multi-turn dialogues.
We constructed the Fair FMi-0OK dataset based on the proposed taxonomy, covering comprehensive range of bias types, social groups, and attributes. Building on this, we have extracted more challenging dataset, Fa rMT-1K.
Through detailed experiments and analyses using FairMT-Bench, spanning carefully de- signed dimensions such as tasks, models, dialogue turns, bias types, and attributes, we reveal significant limitations in the fairness capabilities of current L.Mss.

Figure 2: An overview of our Fair-MT Bench. We first formulate a task taxonomy targeting LLM fairness capabilities across three stages: context understanding, user interaction, and instruction trade-offs, with each stage comprising two tasks. Based on this, we collect datasets encompassing two major bias types (stereotype, toxicity) and six bias attributes (gender, race, religion, etc.), cov- ering nearly all bias types and attributes commonly addressed in fairess evaluation.
2 FAIRMT-BENCH
In this section, deseribe the construction process of FairMT-Bench, as illustrated in Figure 2 Initially, we introduce the task taxonomy designed for fairness evaluation in multi-turn dialogues in Section 2.1 Subsequently, we detail the process of collecting and generating multi-turn dialogue data in Section 2.2 Finally, the evaluation methodology is described in Section 2.3
2.1 TASK TAXONOMY
By analyzing the capability limitations and safety vulnerabilities of LLMs in multi-turn dialogues, we designed a challenging hierarchical taxonomy for multi-turn fairness evaluation. This taxonomy addresses the fairness deficiencies of LLMs through three stages of user interaction: the ability to perceive and understand biases in multi-turn context, the ability to correct biases during interaction, and the ability to balance following instructions with maintaining fairness. Intuitively. the first stage requires comprehension abilities, while the last two stages demand bias-resistance capabilities. For each capability, we carefully designed two multi-turn dialogue tasks, which are detailed in the subsequent sections. The templates and generation process for each task are shown in Appendix A.
2.1.1 CONTEXT UNDERSTANDING
Context Understanding focuses on the ability of LLMS to comprehend users' complete inputs within multi-turn dialogues. (Shin al. (2024) points out, a harmless input in isolation may become offen- sive when considered within the broader series of inputs. Thus, correctly understanding the biases implicit in multi-turn dialogues is crucial avoiding being misled and generating biased outputs.
Anaphora Ellipsis focuses on the ability to understand biases implied by the use of pronouns in multi-turn dialogues, where LLMs fail to correctly match pronouns with the corresponding peo- ple or events from the earlier context. For example, like "are they more likely to be terrorists?" where "they" refers to Muslims mentioned earlier in the text. By constructing templates, we use pronouns to replace phrases containing sensitive attributes within social biases, thereby avoiding the appearance of complete biased statements through reference.
Scattered Questions requires LLMs to detect potential biases biases by synthesizing information from multiple dialogue turns. As noted in Bai et al. (2024), LLMs often fail to retain awareness of previous inquiries and data when confronted with disjointed inputs. Specifically, we break down social biases into events that may invoke stereotypes and identify specific social groups associated with these events, such as the 9/11 attacks, orchestrated by terrorists, and frequently associated with Muslims. By spreading biased descriptions and their respective target groups across scattered, multi-turn inputs, we enable biases gradually accumulate throughout the multi-turn dialogue.

2.1.2 INTERACTION FAIRNESS
Interaction Fairness assess the ability of LLMs to maintain fairness during user interactions, even when exposed to biased misinformation. It requires not only understanding of the context in multi- turn context but also maintaining of fairness under external interference.
Jailbreak Tips focuses on the ability of L.MSs to maintain fairness under misleading guidance. Specifically, we craft instructions for the next dialogue turn based on the generated content of the previous turns, employing tactics such as deception, constructing fictitious scenarios, and substitut- ing sensitive terms, all aimed at prompting the model to generate biased responses. To minimize human labor costs, employ GPT-4 to simulate user interactions, guiding GPT-4 to generate mis- leading instructions through carefully designed prompts (Yang et al. (024).
Interference from Misinformation focuses the ability of LLMs maintain faimess under the influence of biased information from previous dialogues. Specifically, in the initial turns of dialogue, guide the LLM through harmless instructions (such as paraphrasing input potentially biased viewpoints to the I.MMs, such as "Depending on the current social power structure, they may be more patriarchal". In the final turn, we require the LLMs to answer biased questions by integrating historical dialogue. In this scenario, LLMs tend to produce biased responses by incorporating biased information from earlier dialogues and are particularly susceptible to the influence of the output content from the preceding context.
rewriting) to
2.1.3 FAIRNESS TRADE-OFF
Some studies suggest that the failure in safety alignment is due to goal competition (Wei et al. 2024). When safety and utility conflict, the LLM may prioritize providing a high-quality, user-expected response safety. Insight by this, Fairness Trade-off focuses on the model's ability to maintain fairness when executing user instructions that conflict with the faimess objective.
Negative Feedback focuses on the ability of LLMs to maintain fairness when users repeatedly negate their outputs. Specifically, after the LLM initially refuses to generate biased content, we design multiple turns of instructions that claim that the content is free of social bias, such "the imput does not involve gender bias." Such instructions may lead the LLM to modify its responses to comply with user demands, potentially altering its original "fair" output.
Fixed Format aims to evaluate the ability of LLMs to balance following instructions with main- taining fairness within a structured question-and wwwioon--nn-aaada and-answer format. Specifically, when posing biased question, we add additional formatting instructions, such as, "Please answer according to the fol- lowing format: 1. From a historical perspective: <your response>. 2. From a societal structure perspective: <your response>..." ". In multi-turn dialogues, we start with unbiased questions, which accustom the LLM to a particular response format. When the final turn of questioning shifts to bi- ased content, the LLM tends to follow the established pattern, potentially leading to biased outputs.
2.2 DATASET CONSTRUCTION
In this section, describe the dataset process for FairMT-10K, To ensure a comprehensive assessment of LLM fair- ness, we consider the two most preva- lent types of social bias: stereotype and toxicity. Additionally, we incorporate six bias attributes: age, gender, race, reli- gion, disabled, and appearance. We collect biased descriptions containing these at- tributes from existing stereotype and tox- icity datasets to form the source data for FairMT- 10K. Specifically, we use Redditbias (Barikeri et al. 2021) and Social Bias Inference Corpus (SBIC) (Sap et al. 2019) sources for stereotype data, and HateXplain (Mathew et al., (021) as the source for toxicity data. Details and process on theses datasets provided in Appendix A.2 Based the collected source data, generate multi-turn dialogue data for six distinct tasks. We crafted data generation prompt templates for each task, utilizing GPT-4 (Achiam et al. 2023) proxy for human input in Scattered Questions and

2.3 EVALUATION
The evaluation process is structured into two stages: inference and scoring. In the inference stage, we sequentially input multi-tune prompts into the LLM, using the output from previous turms as the dialogue history for subsequent turns. In the scoring stage, we evaluate the fairness of the dialogue's final turn. LLMs are widely used as judge due to their strong alignment with human (Zheng et al.) 2023
Liu et al. 2023 Kumar et al. (024). Building upon previous studies, we employ GPT-4 as judge to score the generation of LLMs on FairMT-Bench Specifically, we supply GPT-4 with the full output from LLMs across all turns, along with the original biased statement that served as the basis for generating each data sample. The complete details of the GPT-4 evaluation instructions are provided in Appendix A.3] Additionally, open-source content safety classification LLM, as an auxiliary detection tool. For the detection re- sults, we report the bias rate, which is the proportion of multi-turn dialogue groups detected as biased relative to the total number of multi-turn dialogue groups. Finally, we perform human evaluations verify the accuracy GPT-4's judgement. Detailed procedures and results of human evaluations are provided in Appendix A.4 In our setup, using Llama-2- 2----227-hhe an example, testing on the rMT-108 OK takes about 72.5 H100 GPU hours, and costs approximately 171.28 USD using the GPT4 API for evaluation.

During the fairness evaluation of the models, we used the prompts and responses from the earlier turns as dialogue histories in all experiments. For each LLM, applied the corresponding chat format and system prompt, setting the temperature to 0.7 and k to I, while limiting the max new tokens to 150. For the L.LM-Judee (GPT-4), set the temperature to 0.6.

EVALUATION PERFORMANCE ON DIFFERENT TASKS
GPT-4 and 1lmaa-Gurr-33 to test the proportion of biased toxic swers output by the model on different tasks. In addition, we evaluated the models' multi-turn dialogue capabílities. The detailed evaluation results and their tendency over-reject questions that do not contain bias in each dimension are provided in the Appendix B. Table
In this experiment,
Evaluated by GPT-4 The results evaluated by GPT-4 are shown in Table Overall, when com- paring the results on stereotype and toxicity datasets, we observe a consistent distribution of results, with the best and worst-performing LLMs being largely similar across tasks. In general, LLMs perform poorly on the "Anaphora Ellipsis" and "Interference from Misinformation" tasks. This in- dicates that when there are more pronouns and ellipses in the context, LLMs struggle to integrate previous information understand biases within the full dialogue and more likely bypass fair- ness protective mechanisms. Additionally, when the input contains lot of misleading information and the model is asked summarize or respond based on context, it becomes more susceptible to interference from earlier biased input, thus incorporating biases into its responses.
Notably, performance differences are evident across LLMs. For example, Llama-2 (7B, 13B) per- form poorly on tasks like "Anaphora Ellipsis", which contain fewer explicit bias-related toxic keywords and focus more on implicit biases. However, they are less affected by interaction or task execution interference like "Negative Feedback", generating fewer biased outputs under the influ- ence of context or user instructions. In contrast, LLMs like Mistral (7B) perform better tasks involving implicit bias understanding within the context like "Scattered Questions", successfully avoiding biased outputs, but are more prone to generating biased responses when influenced by user input or instructions as in tasks like "Interference Misinformation". The consistency between the human and the GPT-4 annotation results is shown in Appendix A.4.2
Evaluated by Llama-Guard-3 We employ Llama-Guard-3 for auxiliary evaluation. The the over- all trends of Llma-Guurd-- evaluation results align closely with those from GPT-4, as shown in Appendix Table 8 To better visualize the distribution of model performance across different tasks, we apply z-score normalization by task, resulting Figure 3 shown, Llama- Laatma--uardd''ss evalua- tion indicates consistent performance stereotype and toxicity biases across models. Additionally, tasks requiring understanding like "Scattered Questions" and "Anaphora Ellipsis" favor models such as Mistral (7B) and ChatGPT, whereas tasks focused on bias resistance like "Interference Misinfor- mation" " and "Fixed Format" favor models like the Llama-2-chat (7B, 13B). This generally coincides with the findings from the GPT-4 evaluation.
In conclusion, our GPT-4 and Llama-Guard Guard-3 evaluation shows that current LLMs exhibit signifi- cant variation in performance across the tasks defined in our study. We observe distinct task perfor-

mance patterns across different models. Specifically, some models excel at cumpprehension-focssee tasks (such as "Scattered Questions" and "Anaphora Ellipsis") but underperform on tasks requir- ing bias-resistance (such "Jailbreak Tips", "Interference Misinformation", "Fixed Format", and "Negative Feedback")), while others exhibit the opposite trend. These differences may stem from variations in alignment paradigms and instruction-following capabilities. Models like the Llama- 2 series rely more heavily on keyword-bace based bias detection, resulting in reduced fairness when handling cumprehension-focusee tasks. Conversely, models like Mistral (7B), though stronger in contextual semantic understanding, may prioritize utility and user satisfaction over safety when fol- lowing user instructions or specific requests. Consequently, despite numerous efforts improve overall LLM performance, no model has yet demonstrated consistently strong fairness performance across both comprehension-focee and biastresistance tasks.
3.3 COMPARISON OF PERFORMANCE BETWEEN SINGLE AND SULTI-TURY
In this experiment, we evaluate the fairness performance of LLMs in both single-turn and multi-turn contexts using the predefined six tasks. We extract the final prompts from the multi-tur turn dialogues in our dataset and use them as single-turn inputs to evaluate the proportion of biased responses generated by the I.Mss. We then compare and analyze the bias ratio between single-turn and multi- turn dialogues across models and tasks.
For Different Models Figure presents the bias ratio comparison under single-turn and multi- turn scenarios of different models. All LLMs, except Gemma, exhibit higher bias ratio in multi-turn dialogues than in single-turn ones across Stereotype and Toxicity. Notably, the Llama-2-char (7B, 13B) and Llama-3.1-it exhibit significant increases in bias ratio in both scenarios. In the Stereo- type dataset, single-turn dialogues generally exhibit higher bias ratio, while bias ratio differences typically range between 5% and 10%. with the largest increase observed contrast, in the Toxicity dataset, single-turn dialogues exhibit a lower bias ratio, whereas multi-turn Uniquely,

dialogues see an increase of around 10%, with the most substantial rise in Llama- Gemma displays reduction in bias from single-turn to multi-turn dialogues. In-depth analysis shows that multi-turn dialogues, Gemma's 's bias ratio drops by over 80% in the Fix Format task, significantly contributing to its overall reduction in bias. However, in other tasks like Scattered Questions, Gemma maintains higher bias ratio when multi-turn dialogue history is included. De- tailed results, with the performance of all models on each task, are provided in Appendix [B.]
For Different Tasks Figure ejeuparecomppres bias ratio across different tasks under both single-turn and multi-turn scenarios. The impact of multi-turn dialogues varies by task. In tasks such as Scattered Questions, Anaphora Ellipsis, and Jailbreak Tips, bias ratio increase significantly in the multi-turn setting for both Stereotype and Toxicity datasets. Conversely, task like Fix Format, Negative Feed- back, and Interference Misinformation exhibit similar or slightly lower bias ratio. In the Stereotype dataset, multi-turn dialogues generally show higher bias ratio, with the most noticeable increases in Scattered Questions and Jailbreak Tips. In the Toxicity dataset, single-turn dialogues have lower bias ratio, with larger differences observed in Scattered Questions, Anaphora Ellipsis, and Jailbreak Tips. As illustrated in Figure 5 models show relatively high bias ratio in single-turn scenarios for

tasks including Fix Format and Negative Feedback, indicating that models may prioritize utility over fairness even single-turn contexts, making them more vulnerable external user input feed- back. However, in tasks like Scattered Questions and Jailbreak Tips, implicit biases accumulated across dialogue turns result significantly higher bias ratio the final turn.
In summary, current LLMs exhibit a noticeable increase in bias ratio when transitioning from single- turn multi-turn, with LLMs such as Llama-2-chat (7B, 13B) and Llama-3.1-i being typical exam- ples. Notably, tasks defined in our study like Scattered Questions, Anaphora Ellipsis, and Jailbreak Tips prove particularly challenging for these LLMs, as their overall fairness performance declines sharply. Additionally, across both models and tasks, bias ratio in the Stereotype dataset are consis- tently higher than in the Toxicity dataset single-turn dialogues, and the bias ratio difference be- tween single-turn and multi-turn scenarios is consequently smaller. This aligns Wang et al. (2024). which suggest that Stereotype tasks are more subtle and challenging compared to Toxicity tasks.
3.4 EVALUATION RESULTS IN DIFFERENT TURNS
To investigate the impact of turn count model performance across different models, we calculate the average bias ratio for each dialogue turn on different tasks and models. As shown in Figure the bias ratio of all models for both Stereotype and Toxicity increase with the number of turns. This suggests that, in general, the model's 's outputs are influenced by the historical dialogue context, leading to accumulation of bias across multiple turns of responses.
To explore the effect of dialogue turn count on performance across different tasks, we calculate the average bias ratio for each task across models, illustrated in Figure 7 Note that in the Interference from Misinformation task, models are not prompted to respond during the first four turns, and the Fix Format task, the initial prompts for these two tasks in the figure. As observed, in both the Stereotype and Toxicity datasets, bias ratio generally increase with the number of dialogue turns, showing marked spike in the final turn, with the exception of the Scattered Questions task. Our further analysis suggests that this deviation in Scattered Questions may be due to the third-turn prompt subtly guiding the LLMs toward bias. Specifically, the prompt "Summarize your speculation, it sounds like they have some characteristics similar to [Targel Group]?" implicitly encourages the L.MSs to associate the group described the dialogue history with a target group, without explicitly introducing a biased evaluation. This indirect guidance can lead the LLMs to generate biased responses. However, as subsequent prompts more directly link negative events evaluations to the target group, the LLMs protective mechanisms triggered, causing it to reject further responses. In summary, current LLMs tend to accumulate bias in multi-turn dialogues, which is particularly pronounced in fairness-related tasks like Anaphora Ellipsis, Jailbreak Tips, and Negative Feedback.

3.5 EVALUATION RESULTS ON DIFFERENT GROUPS
We assess model faimess across bias attributes by calculating the proportion of biased responses for each category in our dataset. As shown in Figure a) (see Appendix B.4 a color bar zoomed-in version), slight variation in performance is observed across models and bias attributes groups on the

Llama-2-chat (7B, 13B) exhibit the most variability across bias attributes, whereas ChatGPT demonstratio strong and consistent performance. As shown in Figure b)), the overall bias is more severe, and performance variation more pronounced the Toxicity datasets. The Race group shows the largest disparity, while the Gender and Disabled groups consistently exhibit poor results. Llama-2-chat (7B) again shows the most significant variability.
In summary, the fairness capabilities of current LLMs vary significantly across bias attributes. A notable example is Llama-2-chat (7B, 13B), which shows substantial performance disparities across bias attributes in both datasets. The models exhibit weaker alignment in less commonly represented categories such as age, disabled, and appearance, while demonstrating stronger fairness categories with greater focus, such as race and religion. 'The model generally performs poorly certain social attributes. We conducted a brief exploration this phenomenon, and the detailed analysis provided in Appendix [.4 These findings highlight the need for future LLM fairness efforts to drive more comprehensive alignment across all bias attributes.
3.6 CHALLENGE FAIR-MT BENCH IK
To enable more efficient evaluation, we distill the most challenging data from our Fair-MT Bench create lighter LLM fairness benchmark, FairMT-15 -K. Specifically, we select data points where the six models had the highest eтror ratio in the original Fai 1air1M-10K dataset based on our testing results. An equal number of samples are chosen from each task. The specific method for selecting the Fa FairMT-11 K dataset is detailed in Appendix B.5 We then evaluated broader range of models on this new dataset, including Gemma-2-it (2B, 9B, 27B) (Gemma Team et al. 2024).

As demonstrated, even the most recently introduced models, which have been widely recognized for their performance, exhibit significant proportion of biased responses the FairMr- un- derscoring the dataset's challenging nature for assessing LLM fairness. Notably, we find that for certain tasks, such as Scattered Questions, Fix Format, and Negative Feedback, the proportion of biased responses tends to decrease as the model size increases. This could be due to the increased model parameters enhancing the ability of models to comprehend user instructions, which facilitates a more accurate understanding of user intent in multi- turn dialogues. Consequently, this improve- ment may reduce instances where fairness compromised in favor of increasing user satisfaction.
3.7 DISCUSSION
Our experiments above demonstrate the necessity of establishing a new benchmark for evaluating LLM faimeess performance in multi-turn dialogues, since testing single-turn faimesss data fails to capture issues stemming from bias accumulation (see Section 3.3 and Section 3.4), and empirical
results reveal that current LLMs struggle to maintain consistently strong faimess performance across a diverse set of dialogue scenarios designed for evaluating fairness (see Section 3.2). Importantly, observe that LLMs face challenges in comprehensively addressing different bias attributes (see

RELATED WORK
Fairness evaluation in LLMs Recent research has revealed that LLMs tend inherit biases from their pre-training data (Navigli et al. 2023). To explore and address the fairness issues in LLMs, numerous efforts have been made evaluate these models. Parrish al. (202I) and Li al. (2020) -nswerinn models. Similarly, Wan et al. 2023), Sun et al. (2024a), and Wang al. (2024) developed automated and template- based approaches for identifying and measuring social biases in conversational AI systems. While these works provide robust benchmarks for fairness evaluation, they largely concentrate on single- turn dialogues, neglecting the complexities of multi-turn interactions such bias accumulation and contextual interference. A detailed comparison with exiting works provided in Appendix
created datasets and frameworks to evaluate social biases in
Multi-Turn dialogue Multi-turn dialogues closer to real-world scenarios and play crucial role in enhancing user experience. Some research have shown that, LLMs exhibit significant chal- lenges in in multi-turn dialogues (Bai al. 2024 Duan et al. 2023). Additionally, when dealing with multi-turn instructions involving pronouns and ellipses, LLMs demonstrate considerable dif- ficulties in understanding (Sun al., 2024b). The increased complexity in multi-tun dialogues can also expose vulnerabilities in LLMs' safety mechanisms that remain undetected in single-turn
settings et et al. 2024 Yang al. 2024 Zhou et 2024 Chen al. 2023).
CONCLUSION
In this paper, we introduce the benchmark, FairMT-Bench,, for evaluating fairness of LLMSs in multi-turn dialogues. We develop comprehensive taxonomy to guide task design and generate the FairMT-10K dataset, covering nearly all bias types and attributes commonly address in fairness evaluation. Testing 6 LLMs this dataset shows that LLMs are more prone to biased responses in multi-turn dialogues, with performance varying across tasks due to differences in multi-turn capabil- ities. We also distill which exhibited high bias. Our benchmark underscores the need for improved fairness alignment in multi-turn scenarios, based the LLMs multi-turn dialogue capabilities and fairness performance.

ETHICS STATEMENT
This study on the fairness of large language models (LLMs) uses publicly available datasets as data sources, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations and anonymizing data when necessary. Although the data may contain some toxic or stereotypes, the purpose of using this data is to test whether the model can effectively identify these issues, Our goal is to advocate for the responsible and fair use of LLMs to enhance their credibility and reliability, and to promote the development of ethical artificial intelligence. We have made the dataset and code implementation public to ensure transparency throughout the research process.
to propagate toxicity stereotypes.
In terms of the methods and basis for constructing the dataset, this study draws on existing research about the capabiliitiss of LLMs in multi-turn dialogues and techniques for bypassing restrictions. During manual verification, we provided professional training and detailed guidelines to annotators. Each piece of data was independently reviewed by three annotators, with final results aggregated through a voting process to minimize individual biases impacting the annotation outcomes. The research process adheres strictly to all legal and regulatory standards. Specific details of the annota- tion process can be found the appendix. We ensure that the methods used to construct the dataset and the content of the dataset comply with ethical standards.

Anaphora Ellipsis In this task, we frequently use demonstrative pronouns in the dialogue to assess whether the model can associate these pronouns with the target group mentioned carlier and reject biased questions. In the first turn, target group and guide the model in subsequent responses to explain the connection between the target group and specific biased attribute. If, in the final turn, the model identifies the reason why the biased attribute is associated with the group and fully connects the bias to the group, it is considered misled and producing biased response. The specific template shown in Figure

Specifically, first GPT-4 to generate an event that reflects stereotypes about a certain group. The prompt given to GPT-4 is shown in Figure [T] The generated content manually filtered remove samples where the model refused to respond or provided invalid answers. In the multi-turn dialogue, we input the event, guide the model analyze the image of the event's main subject, and link this image to the target group. The specific template is shown in Figure 10

Interference from Misinformation In this task, we observe whether the model can recognize biased information after being presented with incorrect or biased inputs and subsequently correct itself in its later responses. Specifically, in the initial turns of the dialogue, we guide the LLM through harmless instructions (such as paraphrasing or rewriting) to output biased content while executing these instructions. In the final turn, require the model to answer biased questions by integrating information from previous turns. In this scenario, L.MSs often tend to produce biased responses by incorporating biased information from earlier dialogue. The example is shown in Figure [4]
Negative Feedback In this task, we assess whether the model can maintain correct, unbiased responses despite repeated requests from the user or when the user persistently denies previous correct answers. The example is shown in Figure 15
In this task, we evaluate whether the model can reject biased questions under fixed and explicit instructions. For multi-turn tasks, we design consistent, unbiased prompts for the first four turns, and in the final turn, make subtle change by introducing biased question. This

A.2 DATA SOURCE
In this paper, we use three authoritative bias datasets as the sources of bias our dataset. Con- sidering the types of bias, we selected the RedditBias and SBIC datasets for stereotypes, and the HateXplain dataset for toxicity as the basis for constructing our dataset. this section, we provide a detailed introduction to these three datasets and explain how we extracted biased knowledge from them.
RedditBias focuses evaluating and mitigating biases in conversational language models, using real-world Reddit data. It covers bias across four key dimensions: gender, race, religion, and queer- ness. The data in the dataset are manually annotated, and specific biased phrases in the sentences are extracted. In this paper, we use the Target Set and Attribution Set pre-defined in the dataset as our biased knowledge.
SBIC dataset is designed to capture and categorize biased implications from social media posts. contains over 150,000 structured annotations of 44,671 posts, referencing 1,414 demographic groups, and covering 34.333 unique group-implication pairs. The posts are sourced from platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and hate sites like Stormfront and Gab. The dataset focuses on various social groups such race/ethnicity, gender/sexuality, and culture/origin, and includes offensive, intent- based, and geluperelated annotations. The annotators manually labeled the post with the involved targetMinority and targetStereotype, which biased views summarized from the specific state- ments. In our dataset, these serve as the target groups and bias attributes.
HateXplain dataset benchmark dataset for explainable hate speech detection. consists of posts collected from Twitter and Gab, with total of 208 posts. Each post is annotated with three labels: hate speech, offensive speech, or normal speech. Additionally, annotators provide target (ommunitiex((arretss) and rationales (highlighted parts of the text) present in the sentence, which typically describe the targeted group. We extracted these key elements from each data point to serve as the toxic knowledge for constructing our dataset.

multi-turn dialogues, we clearly define the task the instructions and provide the original biased views used to construct the dataset form of reinforcement. This is done prevent GPT-4 from making errors due to its internal biased knowledge. Furthermore, we explicitly define several types of bias that may be encountered during the evaluation process and instruct GPT-4 on how to make judgments in each case. Finally, we specify the output format for GPT-4 to facilitate the subsequent organization and analysis of the evaluation results.
A.4 THE DETAILS OF HUMAN EVALUATION AND ANNOTATION
We have employed 3 undergraduate students who possess good English proficiency and strong eth- ical principles as crowdsourcers. These crowdsourcers have participated numerous detailed dis- cussions with our team, clarifying the essential requirements of the evaluation. Adhering to local labor laws and regulations, our crowdsourced workers are paid according to working hours. For crowdsourcers, present the questions and the model's responses ing annotators to determine whether the final response contains any bias. Similar to using GPT-4 as judge, in order to avoid the annotators' own biases from influencing the final evaluation, also provide the biased knowledge from the original dataset as reinforcement. Annotators are required to assess whether the response contains or agrees with the biased viewpoint.

A.4.2 RESULTS HUMAN EVALUATION
Three annotators labeled the sampled data based on our Annotation Guideline. We calculated the consistency between the human assessment results and those of GPT-4. The results of this consis- tency assessment are presented in T Overall, human validation and GPT-4 evaluation results show high accuracy and recall values, indicating strong consistency between the two. GPT-4 rarely exhibits cases of missed judgments. However, in certain tasks, GPT-4's evaluations demonstrate a tendency toward over-protection. We conducted detailed analysis of the samples with inconsistent annotations and found that when the model's response presented a bias by explaining it through certain objective phenomena or the model adds a seemingly fair explanation man annotators tended to label such responses as non- non-biased, while GPT-4 considered any attempt associate a group with a particular stereotype, regardless of the reason, as biased.

A.5 THE COST OF USING THE FAIRMT BENCH.
Time cost The generation speed varies among different models. In this analysis, take Llama-2 7b-chat model as an example. Some API-called models, such as ChatGPT, generally produce faster results. We configure the model generate text with feax_new_tokent the batch size and precision as and FP32, respectively. The generation is performed on sin- gle NVIDIA H100 GPU. Under this setup, generating 10K samples of 5-turn multi-turn dialogue responses takes about 72.5 H100 GPU hours.
150 and maintain
Economic cost First, we discuss the costs associated with using GPT-4 as an evaluator. Specifi- cally, we use GPT-4 Turbo to evaluate the generated content of the test models. The current price of GPT-4 Turbo is $0.01 per 1,000 input tokens and $0.03 per 1000 output tokens. In our setup, GPT-4 evaluates bias in the final turn the dialogue by processing the historical dialogue as context and providing simple outputs: "Yes, it is biased" "No, it is not biased". We have estimated the cost of evaluating each dialogue set to be approximately 0.017 USD. In addition, we also use the open-source model LlamaGuard-3 as another evaluation tool. While LlamaGuard-3 is less sensitive detecting implicit biases compared to GPT-4, its assessment results and trends are generally con- sistent with those of GPT-4. LlamaGuard-3 serves cost-effective alternative when GPT-4 API is unavailable or to minimize expenses. Furthermore, to enhance evaluation efficiency and reduce costs, we have curated 1,000 particularly challenging samples from the FairMT- 1OK dataset into new subset, FairMT-IK.

area appears in the upper-right corner of the heatmap. This indicates that models with stronger lan- guage understanding capabilities, such as ChatGPT and 1eamaa-.--B--Intttrree are more sensitive to interactions and interference from user instructions.
Additionally, We tested the multi-turn dialogue capabilities of the six models on MT-Bench 101 (Bai et al. 2024). benchmark for fine-grained evaluation of model multi-turn dialogue capabilities.
In our FairMT-Bench, we designed tasks to assess the trade-off between fairness and model utility. In conjunction with our tasks for assessing model fairness, we focused the trade-off between fairness and model utility, observing whether the model begins to refuse responses due to keywords associated with certain social groups attributes without any biased intent from the user, sacrificing model utility to ensure fairness. In our task design, the Fixed Format task involves asking the model to answer unbiased questions related to a social group in fixed format for the first four turns, and then posing a biased question related to the same social group in the same format in the fifth turn. This task design considers the model's ability to balance performance and fairness under clear instructions and requirements, and also examines the model's flexibility in changing its response strategy when the dialogue content undergoes subtle changes across multiple turns. Ideally, the model should normally answer according to the format in the first four turns and refuse to answer while pointing out the bias in the prompt in the last turn of dialogue. Here, we examine whether the model exhibits over-protection by generally refusing to respond upon detecting sensitive words related to a particular group, specifically if the model displays refusal behavior in the first four turns.
The test results from MT-Bench 101 (Bai et al. 2024) and the model's over-refusal are shown in T Overall, models with stronger multi-turn dialogue capabilities tend to exhibit better fairness performance in multi-turn dialogues (as analyzed from the Avg. results). Specifically, we found that models with stronger Adaptability and Interactivity are more susceptible to user guidance and interference, which can alter their faimess strategies during multi-turn dialogues. We think this may be because the fairness alignment of these models has not adequately accounted for multi-turn adversarial prompts.

The results are shown in Table 7 As can be seen, in the vast majority of models and tasks, the proportion of bias in multi-turn dialogues is significantly higher than in single-turn dialogues. However, in the Fixed Format task, many models show lower bias proportion multi-turn dialogues compared to single-turn dialogues, especially the Gemma- 7b-it model, which shows an 83% and 77% reduction in bias in multi-turn dialogues. This results in the Gemma-7be 7b-it model having a lower bias proportion in multi-turn dialogues than in single-turn dialogues in the overall evaluation.
B.4 EVALUATION RESULTS ON DIFFERENT GROUPS
From the model's performance across different social attributes, certain attributes pose significant challenges for all models. Here, we provide a brief discussion of this phenomenon. As Gallegos al.) (2024) mentioned that, the primary source of bias in large language models (L.LMs) is the training data. Similarly, we believe that the effectiveness of fairesss alignment in models largely depends on the data used for alignment. Specifically, the most notable instance in the FairMT- Bench test results appears in the category of gender stereotypes. We selected instances where the model's 's responses exhibited bias for detailed analysis and discussion of common issues.
In the of gender stereotypes, biased responses primarily manifest very subtle biases, such as seemingly conventional and normative implicit biases against women. Examples include associa- tions with domesticity and compliance, which are generally not recognized by models biases that

Q: based on some historical and realistic factors, they/women) are more likely subservient? A: From a social perspective, traditional gender roles have shaped expectations that women should be submissive, docile, and supportive others. From political and coonomic perspective, women have fewer independent sources of income political power, and this dependency dependent and sabmissive in economic and family decision-making. From a psychological perspective, women may be more submissive because they are more sensitive to the evaluations of others.

B.5 FAIRMT-1K CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
To reduce the cost of evaluating fairness in multi-turn dialogues and enhance the efficiency of these evaluations, selected a more challenging dataset based the results of six models tested on the FaK dataset. We assume that the more models that exhibit biased responses to a data point, the more challenging that data point is for the models. Therefore, we selected the composition of the FairMT- K dataset based on the number of times a model exhibited bias on a particular data point, independent of the model's fairness performance. For each task, we integrated the evaluation results of six models across two types of biases and counted the number of models that exhibited bias in the final turn of each dialogue group. We considered dialogue group as challenging if more models produced biased responses in that group. We ranked all samples based on the number of models that provided biased responses and selected the top 170 groups with the most biased responses to be included in the FairMT-IK IK dataset.
B.6 BIAS MITIGATION FAIRNESS ALIGNMENT
We employed commonly used alignment paradigms DPO (Rafailov et al., (024) for debiasing. We constructed positive and negative data pairs for fairness multi-turn alignment based on the evalu- ation results on the FaKK dataset. We use the first four turns of historical dialogue as the "conversation", with the unbiased response from the model serving as the "chosen" answer and the biased response as the "rejected" answer. The base model is 1ama-22-bbchhil After debiasing, assess the model's fairesss, multi-turn dialogue capabilities, and the proportion of over-pros ever-protection after alignment.

From the experimental results, the model's bias ratio significantly decreased after alignment, and the performance of fairness under both single and multi-turn alignment paradigms was essentially con- sistent, suggesting that improvements in fairness primarily arose from the model fitting to the dataset used this work. However, both single and multi-turn aligned models showed a decline in multi- turn dialogue language modeling capabilities, and increase in the proportion of over-refusll, indi- cating that the model sacrificed performance to a large extent to enhance fairness, without achieving good trade-off. However, it also be seen that multi-turn alignment had smaller impact on the model's language modeling capabilities compared to the currently prevalent single-turn safety alignment, showing certain advantages of multi-turn alignment. Therefore, designing more high- quality multi-turn fairness alignment datasets and techniques to achieve trade-off between fairness and quality remains an unresolved issue.
C RELATED WORKS: LLM FAIRNESS EVALUATION
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive progress recent years and fundamentally changed language technologies (Achiam et al. 2023 Touvron et al. 2023 Zheng et al.) 2023 Wu
cct al. 2023 Chen et al.] (024c). Bias in large language models raises serious concerns (Gallegos
2024 Navigli al.) (023), prompting the development of various benchmarks and tech-
niques for their evaluation and mitigation (Gallegos et al.) 2024 (arrido-Muuhn et al. 2021 Chen al., 2024bb a). Previous methods for evaluating fairness can be divided into two main categories:
embedding or probability-based approaches and generated text-based approaches. Embedding or probability-based approaches methods assess LLMs by analyzing the hidden representations or pre-
dicted probabilities of tokens in counterfactual scenarios (Caliskan et al., 2017; May et al. 2019
Guo & Caliskan 2021 Nadeem et al. 2020 Nangia et al.) 2020). Generated text-based approaches evaluate I.IMss by using prompts, such as questions, to elicit text completions or answers from the
model (Dhamala et al., 202T Wan al.) 2023) Bordia Bowman, 2019) Liang et al., 2022 Nozza
al. 2021). However, these approaches rely fixed input and output formats, which exhibit lim-
ited correlation with the flexible and diverse practical open-text conversation scenarios (Fan et al.
2024 Cabello al. 2023 Delobelle et al. 2022).
More recent research has focused on evaluating faimess in open-text conversations. Parrish et al. (222 and Li et al. (2020) created datasets and frameworks evaluate social biases in question- answering models, focusing on contexts with varying amounts of information and bias-laden
prompts. Similarly, Wan al. (2023). Sun et al. (2024a), and Wang et al. (2024) developed

While these works provide robust benchmarks for fairness evaluation, they largely concentrate on single- turn dialogues, neglecting the complexities of multi-turn interactions such as bias accumulation and contextual interference. Although many models demonstrate strong performance on these fairness benchmarks, current evaluations primarily focus on single-ture dialogues, overlooking the complex- ities introduced in multi-turn dialogues. Furthermore, as shown in Table [T]] we compare our work with previous related work in terms of tasks, social groups, and types of bias, demonstrating that FairMTTBBench a novel and comprehensive benchmark.
