arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 30, 2026 · UTC

Text-to-image models learn associations between concepts - in the case of this paper, people's professions, which we refer to as roles - and visual attributes. These associations can underpin many observed forms of stereotypical bias. A key open question in this area is whether these associations are stable or change when visual representations of people in professional roles are placed in different prompted contexts. We introduce ContextBias, a controlled evaluation framework, and ContextBench, a benchmark spanning 92 roles and 1,656 semantically controlled prompts, designed to isolate the ef
