Generative AI perpetuates biases
Generative AI amplifies gender and racial biases, misrepresenting marginalized groups and risking harm in critical areas like policing and employment.
Generative AI models, such as Stable Diffusion, are amplifying gender and racial biases in their outputs, according to an investigation by Bloomberg. The report found that the model depicted women and people of colour as underrepresented in high-paying jobs and overrepresented in low-paying ones. The model was also found to be inaccurate in its portrayal of skin tones and gender, and to have amplified stereotypes of race and gender in its outputs. The report warns that the use of such models in policing and other areas could exacerbate existing biases in the criminal justice system.
