Research: bias creeps into new AI generated art

A seagull attacking a man with spaghetti, a skateboarding dinosaur, and a cup of coffee that contains the universe. These are just some of the odd prompts that people have given to new AI systems, for an often unusual, yet incredibly detailed image in return. Whilst majority of the AI art you are likely seeing on social media comes from Open-A-I's, DALL E mini, other notable artists are Open-A-I's DALL-E 2, and Google Research's Imagen Google research shows the technology appears to involve "several social biases and stereotypes". But experts fear these systems are also capable of producing disinformation based off the gender and cultural biases from the data they feed off. An OpenAI online document titled'Risks and Limitations', which shows these biases with an example of how a text description of a CEO, for instance, only shows images of predominantly white men. Technology has "an overall bias towards generating images of people with lighter skin tones and a tendency for images portraying different professions to align with Western gender stereotypes."
