Are LLM systems racially biased? We test this using a new dataset of over 1 million well-known individuals. LLMs were used to rank individuals' social importance. We source individual ethnicity from their Wikipedia articles. We find that ethnicity predicts LLM rankings even after controlling for age, use of a fake name, and nationality.
