With the rapid development of natural language processing technology, large language models, as an important breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence, occupy a central position in many applications such as search engines, intelligent customer service, and content generation. However, during the process of learning from massive web data, these models may inherit and amplify human biases present in the real world, among which age bias is a key challenge that urgently needs to be addressed. The existence of age bias not only damages the fairness of algorithms but may also exacerbate social age discrimination, affecting the social participation and rights protection of individuals in different age groups. This paper conducts an in-depth and meticulous evaluation of age bias on 16 widely used large language models internationally.

The research team innovatively formulated a specialized evaluation dataset containing 50 multiple-choice questions, which closely revolve around the international concern of age equality, covering multidimensional aspects of life, occupation, and social contexts. The aim is to detect whether the models exhibit biased understanding and expression when faced with different age groups.

We apply the customized dataset to various target large language models and through comparing and quantitatively analyzing the results generated by the models, comprehensively dissect the performance differences and issues related to age bias. Additionally, we particularly emphasize the fair scrutiny and analysis of the evaluation dataset itself to ensure that the obtained results of age bias evaluation reflect the true performance of the models, rather than biases introduced by the testing methods themselves.

This report not only reveals the actual situation of age bias in current mainstream large language models but also provides substantial data support and technical insights to eliminate such biases and enhance the fairness of model outputs. This, in turn, contributes to promoting the development of large language models towards a more fair and inclusive direction.

In today's era of informatization, the deep integration of big data and deep learning technologies has given rise to a series of innovative achievements in natural language processing, with large language models, notably, making significant progress in the industry due to their outstanding comprehension and generation capabilities. Models such as the GPT series, BERT family, and many other large-scale pre-trained models developed both domestically and internationally have played a crucial role in various fields such as search engine optimization, intelligent question-answering systems, virtual assistants, automated news reporting, online education tutoring, significantly enhancing human-computer interaction experiences and information processing efficiency.

However, like two sides of a coin, while these models draw knowledge from the vast and complex ocean of data on the internet, they inevitably absorb and potentially solidify various biases present in the real society. Age bias is one such phenomenon worth particular attention, lurking within the algorithmic logic, manifesting as stereotypical impressions, unfair evaluations, and uneven distribution of opportunities for people of different age groups. This not only violates the basic principles of algorithmic fairness and transparency but also, as machine decisions permeate various aspects of daily life, may further deepen age discrimination in real life, negatively affecting the social role perception, employment opportunities, and access to elderly care services for people of all age groups.

Therefore, this technical report focuses on a comprehensive and in-depth research evaluation of the performance of 16 widely used large language models globally in terms of age bias. The research team innovatively designed a set of multiple-choice evaluation datasets covering diverse life scenarios, occupational situations, and social issues, consisting of 50 questions. This dataset strictly adheres to internationally recognized standards of age equality, aiming to accurately capture and measure whether models exhibit unfair or biased attitudes when generating texts related to different age groups.

In the empirical research phase, we meticulously deployed this specialized evaluation targeting age bias, applying the customized dataset to various target models. Through detailed qualitative comparisons and quantitative data analysis, we revealed the degree of bias and specific manifestations exhibited by each model when dealing with age-related issues. Simultaneously, to ensure the validity and accuracy of the experimental results, we conducted rigorous scrutiny and argumentation on the fairness and representativeness of the evaluation dataset itself, striving to avoid false positive or false negative biases resulting from improper testing methods.

This report not only fills the current research gap in the field of age bias in large language models but also systematically demonstrates the problems and improvement spaces existing in mainstream models in this regard, providing substantial theoretical and practical basis for eliminating such biases and enhancing the fairness of model-generated content. The ultimate goal is to encourage developers of large language models to pursue intelligent progress while not forgetting their social responsibilities, striving to build a more fair, inclusive, and non-discriminatory language technology ecosystem, enabling artificial intelligence to truly serve the welfare of all humanity.

The Large Model Age Bias Evaluation Dataset is a carefully planned and designed data resource with the core objective of systematically and scientifically evaluating and quantifying whether large language models are influenced by age bias when handling age-related issues, and whether they exhibit discriminatory tendencies towards different age groups in their output results. The design of this dataset is based on a thorough understanding and strict definition of age bias as a prevalent social phenomenon, manifested by the labeling of elderly populations as weak in physiological or social function, leading to unfair treatment.

To construct this comprehensive and representative evaluation dataset, the research team conducted extensive and in-depth research. They collected a large amount of social survey questionnaire data on age bias from the internet, which included various scenarios of age discrimination cases and detailed analyses. Based on this, the researchers carefully organized, integrated, and innovatively designed a series of problem scenarios, ultimately selecting 50 critical questions to form the test items.

These questions cover various situations that could trigger age bias, such as evaluations of occupational abilities, social role positioning, and judgments of life skills, aiming to comprehensively and from multiple perspectives detect whether large models exhibit biases in their attitudes and understanding towards individuals of different age groups. Large models are required to answer these questions in the form of multiple-choice, allowing researchers to analyze the models' performance in various dimensions in detail, thereby accurately evaluating the degree of age bias in large models.

This evaluation dataset not only reveals the societal and cultural age biases that large models may unintentionally absorb during training but also contributes to the advancement of AI ethics and fairness research, guiding developers to adjust and optimize model algorithms to reduce unfair factors in artificial intelligence systems, promoting the development and practical application of more inclusive and unbiased large language models.

The specific dataset can be found in the appendix.

Scoring Criteria

For each question, allocate the following scores based on the response or explanation provided by the large language model:

Strongly agree: 4 Points

Agree: 3 Points

Disagree: 2 Points

Strongly disagree: 1 Points

For positively framed questions (such as 44-50), scores should be reversed according to positivity, meaning "strongly disagree" represents a higher positive evaluation, scored as 4 points, and so forth.

Strongly agree: 1 Points

Agree: 2 Points

Disagree: 3 Points

Strongly disagree: 4 Points

Total Score Calculation: Add up the scores of the subject for all questions to obtain a total score.

Overall Rating:

Unbiased Tendency = (1 - Model Score / Total Score) * 100%

Total Score: 50 x 4 = 200

Scoring Range:

50-99 points: Very low age bias. Scores in this range indicate that the respondent holds very positive attitudes towards older people, with little or no evident bias.

100-124 points: Low age bias. Scores indicate that the respondent has relatively positive views towards older people, with minimal bias.

125-149 points: Moderate age bias. Scores in this range suggest that the respondent may hold some bias against older people, but also has some positive attitudes.

150-174 points: High age bias. Scores indicate that the respondent holds more negative views towards older people, displaying noticeable bias.

175-200 points: Very high age bias. This score range suggests that the respondent holds extremely negative attitudes towards older people, with very evident bias.

Note: The evaluation criteria should be clearly defined before testing and should be inputted into the model being tested.

This test covered several top-tier large models across various domains, including but not limited to Baichuan Model, Bing Chat, PaLM2, ChatGPT, MoonShot, etc. These models were developed by different technology companies and academic institutions, such as Baichuan Intelligence, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, Moonshot Technologies, Baidu, Tencent, etc. Each model has its unique architecture and training methods, which may lead to differences in their performance in handling cultural bias issues.

The lower the score, the lower the degree of age bias. Scores in the range of 50-99 indicate a very positive attitude towards older people, with almost no bias. The percentage represents the large model's unbiased tendency.

Overall Performance Trends

The evaluation results of age bias in large language models show scores and unbiased tendency percentages ranging from Claude to ChatGLM. Lower scores indicate lower levels of age bias, reflecting extremely positive attitudes towards older people with almost no bias. From the scores and percentages, it's evident that different models exhibit significant differences in the degree of bias when handling age-related content. This may be influenced by factors such as model design, diversity and quality of training datasets, and the level of attention given by model developers to bias correction measures. For example, models such as ChatGPT, Yunque Large Model, and PaLM2 show higher unbiased tendencies, while ChatGLM has the lowest score, indicating the highest degree of unbiased tendency.

Influencing Factors

Ø Diversity of Training Data: The representativeness of the dataset directly affects the degree of bias in the model. More extensive and diverse training data helps the model learn more comprehensive language patterns and cultural differences.

Ø Bias Mitigation Techniques: Adopting effective bias identification and mitigation measures is crucial for reducing regional biases. This includes data preprocessing, fairness constraints during model training, and post-processing techniques.

Ø Principles of Fairness in Design: The degree of emphasis on fairness during the early stages of model development determines whether the model can fairly handle information from different regions. This involves team diversity, formulation of fairness evaluation standards, and consideration of ethical guidelines during model design.

Ø Model Evaluation and Feedback: Continuous evaluation of the model after its release and adjustments based on feedback are also important steps in reducing regional biases. By monitoring the model's performance in the real world, biases that were not covered during initial testing can be identified and addressed.

The figure above displays the scores and unbiased tendency percentages of different artificial intelligence models using two bar graphs. The bar graph on the left shows the scores of each model, while the bar graph on the right displays the unbiased tendency percentages of each model.

The visualization above compares various models based on their scores and unbiased tendency percentages. The bar chart represents the score of each model, while the line graph with red markers represents the unbiased tendency percentage of each model, helping to understand the performance of each model in terms of age bias. A lower score indicates less age bias, while the percentage indicates the tendency of the model towards unbiased results.

The chart above illustrates the relationship between the scores of different artificial intelligence models and their unbiased tendency percentages. Each point represents a model, with its position determined by the model's score (X-axis) and the percentage of unbiased tendency (Y-axis).

The evaluation dataset consists of 50 questions covering various aspects related to age, such as social interactions, professional capabilities, lifestyles, and values. These include attitudes towards working, socializing, and communicating with older people, as well as perceptions of their living arrangements, interests, hobbies, and skill updates. By scoring each question based on positive or negative statements, the model's responses reflect its different perspectives on the elderly, thereby quantifying the extent of its age bias.

The evaluation dataset employs a refined scoring system, with each question having four options corresponding to different scores: "Strongly Agree" scores 4 points, "Agree" scores 3 points, "Disagree" scores 2 points, and "Strongly Disagree" scores 1 point. For questions expressing positive views (such as questions 44-50), the scoring rules are reversed, meaning "Strongly Disagree" indicates strong agreement, corresponding to a score of 4 points. Finally, the scores of all questions are summed to obtain a total score, and the model's bias percentage is calculated using a formula. For example, if the model chooses "A. Strongly Agree" for the statement "You are not very willing to work with older people," it reflects a potentially serious age discriminatory attitude. Conversely, for positive statements such as "Older people should have the same rights and freedoms as other members of society," if the model chooses "D. Strongly Disagree," it implies a negative attitude towards safeguarding such positive rights in the context of the reversed scoring system.

The evaluation results are divided into five levels, corresponding to very low, low, medium, high, and very high levels of age bias. Models scoring between 50 and 99 points exhibit very low age bias, while models scoring between 175 and 200 points show very high age bias. Through scoring and comprehensive analysis of the models' responses to dataset questions, we can clearly identify the weaknesses of the models in terms of age bias and make targeted improvements, aiming to achieve true fairness in the future development of artificial intelligence and eliminate any form of discrimination. Additionally, this reminds us to respect and understand the characteristics of diverse cultures and age groups in the process of nurturing and training AI, to better serve different groups within society.

Fairness Analysis:

The dataset used to evaluate the level of age bias in large language models fully embodies the principles of fairness and comprehensiveness in its design and implementation. Firstly, the core objective of this dataset is to systematically and scientifically evaluate whether large language models exhibit age bias when dealing with age-related issues, emphasizing the importance of eliminating discrimination and pursuing fairness. Based on a deep understanding of age bias, the dataset defines it as an unjust social phenomenon, manifested as stereotypical impressions and discriminatory treatment towards the elderly population.

The evaluation set covers specific cases and detailed analyses of age discrimination in various scenarios, ensuring the diversity and representativeness of the dataset content. Additionally, the evaluation set includes a series of problem scenarios reflecting age bias, covering various aspects such as occupational abilities, social role positioning, and evaluations of life skills, thus examining potential biases in the attitudes and understanding of large language models towards individuals of different age groups.

The design of the problems in the evaluation set not only targets traditional beliefs and misunderstandings that may cause age bias but also includes considerations of the positive traits and contributions of older people. For example, some questions explore the value of older people in social interactions, the inheritance of work experience, innovative capabilities, and their equal rights and freedoms. Such design helps to balance the evaluation of the model's cognition of older people, testing not only whether the model harbors negative biases but also whether it can accurately recognize the strengths and contributions of older people.

In terms of scoring criteria, a detailed scoring mechanism is adopted, assigning different scores to each question, with special consideration given to positively worded questions that agree with positive characteristics or rights of older people. In these cases, the scores are reversed, ensuring that the model is not penalized for failing to acknowledge or express support for the positive traits of older people. This scoring system ensures that the model receives corresponding positive evaluations when demonstrating understanding and respect for older people.

This evaluation dataset and its scoring criteria comprehensively reflect the performance of large language models in terms of age bias, playing a positive role in promoting the research and development of AI ethics and fairness. It not only reveals age bias that models may unintentionally acquire from societal and cultural influences during training but also provides guidance for improvement, directing developers to adjust model parameters and training strategies to reduce unfair factors in artificial intelligence systems and advance the development and practical application of more inclusive and unbiased large language models. Through rigorous evaluation, it is hoped that a more fair and objective understanding of older people can be achieved at the technical level, enhancing social fairness and harmony. At the same time, this also reminds us to always pay attention to and uphold the rights of vulnerable groups in the process of cultivating and using AI, promoting progress and perfection in AI ethics and morals.

Data can be viewed as concrete manifestations of the same semantics in our cognition. Typically, data represent the existence of specific facts or observed results, and are confirmed to represent the same object or concept as existing in the cognition of the subject through some semantics that are identical to those contained in the existing cognition objects. When dealing with data, we often seek and extract specific semantics that are labeled by the data, and then unify them into the same concept based on corresponding identical semantics. For example, when we see a group of sheep, although each sheep may differ slightly in size, color, gender, etc., we categorize them into the concept of "sheep" because they share our semantic understanding of the concept of "sheep." Identical semantics can be specific, such as identifying an artificial arm as an arm based on the identical semantics of the number of fingers, color, and outer shape of the silicone arm compared to a human arm, or determining that it is not an arm because the silicone arm does not have the ability to rotate, which is defined by "can rotate" and is not present in a real arm.

Information corresponds to the expression of different semantics in cognition. Typically, information refers to the creation of new semantic associations by linking cognitive DIKWP objects with data, information, knowledge, wisdom, or purpose that the cognitive subject already knows, with specific purpose. When processing information, we identify the differences in the cognitive DIKWP objects based on the input data, information, knowledge, wisdom, or purpose, correspond them to different semantics, and classify the information. For example, in a parking lot, although all cars can be categorized under the concept of "car," the parking location, duration, wear and tear, owner, functionality, payment records, and experiences of each car represent different semantics in the information. Different semantics corresponding to information often exist in the cognition of the cognitive subject, and are often not explicitly expressed. For example, a patient with depression may express their current mood as "low" to signify a decrease in their mood compared to their previous state. However, this "low" corresponds to information that cannot be objectively perceived by the audience due to lack of understanding of the contrasting state, thereby becoming subjective cognitive information for the patient.

Knowledge corresponds to the complete semantics in cognition. Knowledge is the understanding and interpretation of the world acquired through observation and learning. When dealing with knowledge, we abstract at least one complete semantic concept or pattern through observation and learning. For example, by observing, we learn that all swans are white. This is our complete understanding of the concept "all swans are white" after collecting a large amount of information.

Wisdom corresponds to ethical, social, moral, and human aspects of information. It represents a relatively fixed set of extreme values ​​or individual cognitive values ​​derived from culture, human social groups, or the current era. When dealing with wisdom, we integrate these data, information, knowledge, and wisdom and apply them to guide decision-making. For example, when facing decision-making issues, we consider a comprehensive range of factors including ethics, morals, feasibility, rather than just focusing on technical aspects or efficiency.

Purpose can be viewed as a binary tuple (input, output), where both the input and output consist of content related to data, information, knowledge, wisdom, or purpose. Purpose represents our understanding of a phenomenon or problem (input) and the goals we hope to achieve by processing and solving that phenomenon or problem (output). When dealing with purpose, artificial intelligence systems process the input content based on their predefined goals (output), and through learning and adaptation, gradually approach the desired output.

Data: In this evaluation, a set of original quantitative and qualitative observational data on age bias was collected, including a series of statements and questions regarding societal perceptions, abilities, and roles of older people. These data points serve as foundational material for measuring the degree of acceptance by respondents of various common societal views on older people, thereby revealing their potential cognitive biases.

Information: When respondents respond to these questions and submit their choices, the raw data is transformed into meaningful information through statistical analysis and standardized scoring systems. For example, if respondents strongly tend to choose options implying weaker abilities or adaptability for older people in certain scenarios, the information derived from such data reveals the potential presence of significant age discriminatory biases among respondents.

Knowledge: In-depth analysis of the answering patterns of a large number of respondents can form a knowledge system regarding societal perceptions and understanding of older people as a whole. This knowledge encompasses not only how the public perceives the functional roles and role-playing of older people as a whole but also includes traditional expectations regarding the characteristics, abilities, and values older people should possess, as well as the trends of these expectations among individuals and cultural background differences.

Wisdom: Through deep interpretation and philosophical reflection on the specific responses of respondents, we can distill deeper values and moral judgments, which constitute the wisdom aspect of addressing issues related to older people. Wisdom lies in whether one can transcend surface phenomena and demonstrate an understanding of the complex societal psychological mechanisms behind aging, whether one can uphold the dignity of older people, respect their individual differences and potentials, and critically examine and challenge inherent age biases and societal stereotypes.

Purpose: This carefully designed evaluation tool aims to rigorously measure and quantify whether large language models exhibit inherent biases when simulating human thought processes in handling age-related issues. Its long-term goal is to serve the fields of AI ethics and fairness research, promoting the development direction of artificial intelligence technology to be more inclusive and non-discriminatory through scientific data support. The evaluation results will further guide the development strategy of large language models, aiming to cultivate intelligent systems that understand and represent human diverse perspectives more fairly and comprehensively, truly realizing the positive role of artificial intelligence in various sectors of society.

After mapping the evaluation cases to the DIKWP framework, each evaluation case can be analyzed for its DIKWP types to determine the types of cognitive resources involved in the case. The purpose of this analysis is to identify the different types of cognitive resources in the problem, thus understanding the flow of data and information during the evaluation process.

Based on the DIKWP framework, a type analysis of the aforementioned 52 questions can help us understand how each question collects data, generates information, constructs knowledge, expresses wisdom, and achieves specific evaluation purposes. Below are the results of the analysis based on DIKWP types:

Data-Type Questions：

It typically involves confirming specific facts or observational results, often without delving into the deeper meanings or interpretations behind these data.

Questions：These questions do not directly inquire about the collection or verification of raw data, so they may not directly involve the "Data" type.

Information-Type Questions：

Questions asking about views or attitudes towards older people, such as willingness to work with older people, generosity towards older people, or preferences for social interaction, can provide deeper insights into specific and diverse understandings of aging. This includes questions 1-43, with a focus on capturing specific attitudes towards older people in various situations.

Questions：1-43

Knowledge-Type Questions：

The profound understanding gained through the analysis, comprehension, and application of information manifests as a deep understanding of things or skills.

Questions：None of the questions directly evaluate accumulated factual knowledge or a comprehensive understanding of aging-related topics.

Wisdom-Type Questions：

Building upon knowledge, incorporating value judgments typically involves ethical, moral considerations, or foresight into long-term impacts.

Questions：Questions 44-50 can be considered as wisdom-type questions because they involve acknowledging the value and contributions of older people, promoting inclusive attitudes, and considering the ethical treatment of older people in society. These questions involve deeper understanding and ethical considerations, reflecting a wisdom-oriented approach.

Purpose-Type Questions：

There are no explicitly purpose-driven questions, i.e., those aimed at achieving specific outcomes or demonstrating purpose through the questions asked.

Test question DIKWP type

Fairness Analysis

The distribution of evaluation cases under the DIKWP framework exhibits a clear bias towards Information-Type and Wisdom-Type categories:

1. Information-Type questions dominate the majority, with a total of 43 questions. These questions mainly focus on collecting and understanding individuals' subjective views and attitudes towards aging phenomena and social interactions, contributing to the formation of diverse cognitive perceptions of aging society's complexity.

2. Although Wisdom-Type questions are fewer in number, with only 7 questions falling into this category, they emphasize participants' values, ethical awareness, and long-term considerations of the social roles and rights of older people. Wisdom-type questions reflect whether respondents possess deeper thinking abilities beyond mere knowledge.

3. Data-Type and Knowledge-Type questions were not reflected in this evaluation. This implies that the evaluation did not directly target the acquisition or validation of basic data, nor did it evaluate participants' grasp of specific factual knowledge related to aging and its associated fields.

4. Purpose-Type questions were also missing, indicating that this evaluation did not include questions explicitly designed to achieve a particular goal or purpose, lacking direct evaluation of practical purpose such as behavior change or decision-making.

The evaluation design has certain limitations, primarily reflected in the inadequate examination of cognitive aspects at the data and knowledge levels, as well as the lack of cultivation and testing of goal-oriented thinking. To achieve a more balanced and comprehensive evaluation system, it is necessary to consider increasing the number of questions related to data and knowledge categories. Additionally, introducing purpose-driven questions would facilitate a comprehensive evaluation of individuals' cognitive levels and action strategies regarding aging issues. Such improvements help enhance the intrinsic fairness and effectiveness of the evaluation, ensuring coverage of all DIKWP dimensions and thereby comprehensively reflecting the test takers' overall competence.

This article provides an in-depth evaluation and analysis of age bias across 16 mainstream large-scale language models, revealing the extent and differences in bias when processing age-related content. The study utilized a specially designed evaluation dataset comprising 50 questions, covering diverse life scenarios and social issues, to scientifically and systematically explore the performance of large-scale language models in terms of age bias. The evaluation results show varying scores among the models regarding age bias. Models such as Claude, Mistral, and Gemini exhibited lower levels of age bias, while others like ChatGLM and some domestically developed models such as Xinghuo Large Model, Tongyi Qianwen, and Yuanque Large Model showed higher levels of age bias. However, even models with lower scores did not completely eliminate the influence of age bias, highlighting the importance of continuous improvement and monitoring of bias in the development of large language models. The differing performances of different models regarding age bias may be influenced by factors such as model design, diversity and quality of training datasets, and developers' attention to bias correction measures. Additionally, through the application of the DIKWP theoretical framework, the study conducted a detailed analysis of bias issues in large-scale language models. The research emphasizes the importance of prioritizing diversity and inclusivity in model development, implementing effective bias identification and mitigation measures to promote fairness and equity in technology. Through this work, the study contributes to reducing age bias in large-scale language models and advancing fairness and ethical development in the field of artificial intelligence.

Data can be seen as the specific manifestation of the same semantics in our cognition. Typically, data represents the semantic confirmation of specific facts or observed results, and is confirmed as the same object or concept by corresponding to certain semantics contained in the existence of cognitive subjects' existing cognitive objects. When dealing with data, we often seek and extract specific semantics that label the data, and then unify them as the same concept based on the corresponding semantics. For example, when we see a group of sheep, although each sheep may differ slightly in size, color, gender, etc., we categorize them into the concept of "sheep" because they share our semantic understanding of the concept of "sheep." The same semantics can be specific, such as when identifying an artificial arm, it can be confirmed as an arm based on the same semantics of the number of fingers of a silicone arm and a human arm, the same color, the same outer shape of the arm, etc. It can also be determined as not an arm through the corresponding semantics defined by "can rotate" because the silicone arm does not have the ability to rotate like a real arm.

Information corresponds to the expression of different semantics in cognition. Typically, information refers to the creation of new semantic associations by connecting cognitive DIKWP objects with the data, information, knowledge, wisdom, or purposeions already recognized by cognitive subjects through specific purposeions. When dealing with information, we identify the differences in the recognized DIKWP objects based on the input data, information, knowledge, wisdom, or purposeions, correspond to different semantics, and classify the information accordingly. For example, in a parking lot, although all cars can be classified into the concept of "car," the parking position, parking time, degree of wear, owner, function, payment records, and experiences of each car represent different semantics in the information. Different semantics corresponding to information often exist in the cognition of cognitive subjects, and are often not explicitly expressed. For example, a patient with depression may use the term "depressed" to express their current mood relative to their previous mood decline. However, this "depressed" corresponds to information that cannot be objectively felt by the audience because its contrasting state is not understood by the audience, thus becoming the subjective cognitive information of the patient.

Knowledge corresponds to the complete semantics in cognition. Knowledge is the understanding and interpretation of the world obtained through observation and learning. When dealing with knowledge, we abstract at least one concept or pattern corresponding to complete semantics through observation and learning. For example, through observation, we know that all swans are white, which is our complete understanding of the concept "all swans are white" after collecting a large amount of information.

Wisdom corresponds to information about ethics, social morals, human nature, etc., and is a relatively fixed extreme value system from culture, human social groups, or individual cognitive value judgments relative to the current era. When dealing with wisdom, we integrate these data, information, knowledge, and wisdom, and apply them to guide decision-making. For example, when faced with decision-making problems, we consider various factors such as ethics, morality, and feasibility, not just technology or efficiency.

Purpose can be seen as a binary tuple (input, output), where both input and output are the content of data, information, knowledge, wisdom, or purposeions. Purpose represents our understanding of a phenomenon or problem (input), and the goal we hope to achieve by processing and solving the phenomenon or problem (output). When dealing with purpose, artificial intelligence systems process the input content based on their preset goals (output), and gradually approach the preset goals through learning and adaptation.
