Images generated for every “high-paying” job — like architect, doctor, lawyer, CEO and politician — were dominated by lighter skin tones, Bloomberg found.
A popular generative AI tool that creates images from text prompts is rife with gender and racial stereotypes when it comes to rendering people in “high-paying” and “low-paying jobs,” according to a recent study.
The stereotyping was even worse when Bloomberg asked Stable Diffusion to categorize job-related images by gender. The results for terrorists rendered men with dark facial hair, often wearing head coverings — clearly leaning on stereotypes of Muslim men, Bloomberg found. Stable Diffusion is part of the quickly-growing generative AI imaging industry that also includes paid services like DeepAI, Midjourney and Dall-E from OpenAI — the firm behind ChatGPT.
