The media, which has spent years denying that politically biased censorship took place in Silicon Valley, has now begun denying the political bias of ChatGPT, the most prominent AI chatbot in existence.
ChatGPT is an AI system trained on inputs. Like all AI systems, it will carry the biases of the inputs it’s trained on. Part of the work of ethical AI researchers is to ensure that their systems don’t perpetuate harm against a large number of people; that means blocking some outputs.
“The developers of ChatGPT set themselves the task of designing a universal system: one that works everywhere for everyone. And what they’re discovering, along with every other AI developer, is that this is impossible,” Os Keyes, a PhD Candidate at the University of Washington’s Department of Human Centred Design & Engineering told Motherboard.
“Developing anything, software or not, requires compromise and making choices—political choices—about who a system will work for and whose values it will represent,” Keyes said. “In this case the answer is apparently ‘not the far-right.’” The argument quoted by Vice is typical leftist logic, resting on the assumption that striving for politically neutral in AI is impossible, and that AI designers must either choose bias against conservatives or bias against minorities.
Absent from this argument is any engagement with the notion that one can remain unbiased against minorities without defending the exposure of children to drag shows.
