An Asian MIT student asked AI to turn an image of her into a professional headshot. It made her white with lighter skin and blue eyes.
An MIT graduate was caught by surprise when she prompted an artificial intelligence image generator to create a professional headshot for her LinkedIn profile, and it instead changed her race.
In the first image, Wang appears to be wearing a red MIT sweatshirt that she uploaded into the image generator with the prompt:"Give the girl from the original photo a professional linkedin profile photo." "My initial reaction upon seeing the result was amusement," Wang told Insider."However, I'm glad to see that this has catalyzed a larger conversation around AI bias and who is or isn't included in this new wave of technology."
Wang told The Globe that she was worried about the consequences in a more serious situation, like if a company used AI to select the most"professional" candidate for the job and it picked white-looking people.
