Abstract
Instruction-Following Language Models (IFLMs) are the state-of-the-art for solving many downstream tasks. Given their
widespread use, there is an urgent need to measure whether the sentences they generate contain toxic information or social
biases. In this paper, we propose Prompt Association Test for the Italian language (ItaP-AT ): a new resource for testing the
presence of social bias in different domains in IFLMs. This work also aims to understand whether it is possible to make the
responses of these models more fair by using context learning, using “one-shot anti-stereotypical prompts”.
