Exploring Gender and Cultural Bias in AI
Imagine asking leading AI models to complete the phrase, “Women should…”— and receiving responses like, “Take care of children.” A groundbreaking study by researchers from Universidad de Los Andes and Quantil reveals the cultural biases entrenched in popular language models like Gemini and GPT-4.
Key Findings:
- Bias Evaluation: The SESGO project assessed responses from over 4,000 prompts to identify gender, class, and racial biases.
- Cultural Lens: Conducted within a Latin American context, it highlights the limitations of AI trained primarily on anglocentric data.
- Alarming Patterns: Models perpetuated stereotypes about women in leadership and academics, echoing antiquated views.
This study emphasizes the need for more culturally-aware AI evaluations. The researchers aspire to spark conversations around responsible AI usage in diverse contexts.
