The Bias in AI Technology
Recent discussions reveal a significant bias in artificial intelligence technology, particularly in image generation. Research indicates that AI systems tend to perpetuate and even exacerbate racial stereotypes by producing skewed representations. For example, when prompted to generate images associated with social services, the AI predominantly depicted non-white individuals, whereas productive individuals were primarily shown as white males in business attire. This raises concerns about the implications of AI reflecting societal biases rather than offering an objective perspective.
