is AI sexist?
WIRED tested the popular AI video generator from OpenAI and found that it amplifies sexist stereotypes and ableist tropes, perpetuating the same biases already present in AI image tools. – OpenAI’s Sora Is Plagued by Sexist, Racist, and Ableist Biases
The raging bull that is modern AI naturally has to reflect the men that built it. WIRED found out that OpenAI’s Sora is plagued with sexist and racist bias. Really? Is anyone surprised by this? Expecting that by having machines trained in the median content produced by humans, one would suddenly get master pieces of art, video or writing, is being naif or a fool. These machines can do many things, but one thing they can’t is to reason out of the prejudices in which they were trained in.
Ah, and some companies seem to believe that by stealing quality content their AI’s will be better.
How do you teach your kid to be a responsible citizen when you lead by the wrong examples?
AI is a mirror for our median society. If we wan’t to fix what we see in the mirror, we need to move up society’s median first, by cultivating excellence in education, fine arts, science, music and social behavior. Unfortunately many countries (both rich and poor) seem to be doing exactly the opposite for reasons only a hand full of despots/oligarchs can explain.
