Image Recognition
The bias seen in images generated by artificial intelligence is pervasive and difficult to address. It’s now well documented that artificial intelligence systems are subject to inherent biases in the results they deliver. AI-driven healthcare recommendation engines have been shown to discriminate against members of minority groups, and HR recruiting systems have been shown to be biased against female candidates. Now, a recent study shows that sexism against women in artificial intelligence-based image processing runs deeper than thought. “This behavior might result from the sexualized portrayal of people, especially women, in internet images, and serves as a reminder of computer vision’s controversial history with Playboy centerfolds and objectifying images,” Steed and Caliskan say.
