The Potential Consequences of Biased NLP Models

NLP models are often used to moderate online forums and communities to censor offensive language and promote civil discourse. If NLP models — due to biased and heavily skewed datasets — are more likely to associate people with disabilities with negative sentiment, then people with disabilities are at risk of being more heavily censored in online forums by AI moderators if human moderators do not veto these AI decisions. More disability censorship would lead to less visibility of individuals with disability in public online forums, which could impact societal attitudes of non-disabled individuals regarding people with disabilities.
