AI models mirror human ‘us vs. them’ social biases, study shows
Large language models (LLMs), the computational models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and other widely used artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, can rapidly source information and generate texts tailored for specific purposes. As these models are trained on large amounts of texts written by humans, they could exhibit some human-like biases, which are inclinations to prefer specific stimuli, ideas or groups that deviate from objectivity.
When artificial intelligence models pore over hundreds of gigabytes of training data to learn the nuances of language, they also imbibe the biases woven into the texts.
A database of more than 10,000 human images to evaluate biases in artificial intelligence (AI) models for human-centric computer vision is presented in Nature this week. The Fair Human-Centric Image Benchmark (FHIBE), developed by Sony AI, is an ethically sourced, consent-based dataset that can be used to evaluate human-centric computer…
Can we really trust AI to make better decisions than humans? A new study says … not always. Researchers have discovered that OpenAI's ChatGPT, one of the most advanced and popular AI models, makes the same kinds of decision-making mistakes as humans in some situations—showing biases like overconfidence of hot-hand…
