Study Notes
Bias in AI-generated Images
- Ria Kalluri and her team requested an image of a disabled person leading a meeting from AI bot Dall-E, but it produced an image of a disabled person watching instead, highlighting assumptions about disability.
- The inability to represent disabled leaders reflects a broader issue of ableism in AI systems, perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
- Kalluri's team found similar biases in other AI models, like Stable Diffusion, reporting outcomes influenced by race and gender.
Findings on Racism and Sexism
- When prompted for images of attractive individuals, Stable Diffusion produced results predominantly featuring light-skinned people, often with unrealistic bright blue eyes.
- Depictions of impoverished individuals were skewed towards dark-skinned representations, regardless of the specific request, showcasing a racial bias in AI perceptions.
- In occupational representations, all software developers generated by Stable Diffusion were predominantly male and mostly light-skinned, despite the actual diversity in the field.
Cultural Representation Limitations
- The AI's views were geographically biased, often defaulting to a stereotypical North American suburban image despite over 90% of the global population living outside this region.
Impact of Biased Imagery
- Exposure to biased images can reinforce stereotypes, as evidenced by a study showing that viewing stereotypical roles led to increased biases days later.
- Kalluri warns that AI's fast production of biased imagery poses significant challenges to societal perceptions and opportunities for marginalized groups.
Training Data and Ownership Issues
- AI bots like Dall-E are trained using outdated mass-scanned internet images that often reflect and perpetuate biased portrayals.
- Many training images are sourced without permission from original creators, raising ethical concerns about the use of their work in AI.
Efforts to Mitigate Bias
- OpenAI has updated Dall-E to generate more inclusive images, potentially altering user prompts for diversity, though the exact methods are not disclosed.
- Kalluri expresses skepticism regarding the long-term effectiveness of such adjustments, likening it to "whack-a-mole" where fixing one problem leads to another.
Misrepresentation in AI Outputs
- Google's Gemini AI faced backlash for misrepresenting historical facts by automatically including diversity in an image of the Apollo 11 crew, when in reality, the crew consisted solely of white men.
- The incident exemplifies the challenges of ensuring accurate representation while trying to mitigate bias.
Vision for Future AI Development
- Kalluri advocates for localized AI training, where community-specific data shapes AI outputs, allowing for representation that aligns with the values and identities of different cultures.
- The idea of a single AI technology serving all communities fails to address the vast diversity in global identities and experiences.
