Exclusionary norms

"In language, humans express social categories and norms. Language models (LMs) that faithfully encode patterns present in natural language necessarily encode such norms and categories...such norms and categories exclude groups who live outside them (Foucault and Sheridan, 2012). For example, defining the term “family” as married parents of male and female gender with a blood-related child, denies the existence of families to whom these criteria do not apply"
