Applications and tools supported by artificial intelligence are now an integral part of our lives with their increasing popularity. Recently, especially from image and video to text, artificial intelligence has come a long way in manufacturing.

However, artificial intelligence tools have been developed with some “human” biases since they started developing. for hate crimes such as racism Artificial intelligence, which collects a lot of data from us, does not lag behind humans in terms of sexism…

If a nurse is a woman, a doctor is a man (!)

Although the developers of all artificial intelligence tools Although they try to solve the problems success has not yet been achieved. We did a small test with DALL-E, Midjourney, Leonardo and Wombo to see the overall situation.

Our test is quite simple, it is one of the AI ​​tools We asked them to create visuals that belong to different professional groups. Incoming images showed that artificial intelligence tools still produce ‘sexist’ results to a greater extent. For example, nurses were almost all women, while doctors were men.

Wombo passed 100% on the how sexist test you are.

• According to Wombo CEO, doctor or journalist If so, you are definitely a man.

• Nurse, teacher or hairdresser being a ‘woman’s job’…

• But if if you are a pilot, a police officer or a professor it means you are a man…

Unfortunately, Midjourney hasn’t yet crossed the threshold of sexism;

• One at Midjourney CEO, doctor or journalist thinks it’s a man…

• Midjourney also made different choices about nurses, teachers and hairdressers; from a hairdresser you don’t have to be a womanAlthough she seems to have overcome the problem of teacher and male teacher, the only woman here is a nurse…

• The pilot, the agent and the professor are also men. But let’s not be unfair, even if it’s not there One of the four police results he gave was a woman…

Leonardo’s results are almost similar to their predecessors;

• Although the CEO and the doctor are male, thank goodness a female journalist We saw!

• Another trio of nurse, teacher and hairdresser all of women consists of…

• Trio of pilot, agent and professor still not surprising…

The visual AI tool that’s the best way to be non-sexist looks like DALL-E, though it’s not perfect for now;

• DALL-E for all professions in general equal number of men and women it gives results…

• At the nursing and hairdressing point Although DALL-E failed to pass He seems to realize that teachers can be both male and female…

• DALL-E, which managed to achieve parity between pilot and police, The professor fails in class…

The problem is not in artificial intelligence, but in us;

Although these are small examples, such results tell us something important about ourselves. Sexist expressions embedded in language and culture It provides an example to help us understand why it is important.

At the same time, there will still be a large share of professions in 2023. that sexism and inequality of opportunity continue. shows. It’s easy to teach AI tools “not to be sexist.” Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of humans.

If we don’t really solve this big problem, technologies like artificial intelligence will shape our future, will make our tomorrow as dark as our present. resembling…
