UNESCO’s latest study exposes alarming gender bias entrenched within leading AI tools from OpenAI and Meta. Unveiling findings on Thursday, the report spotlights the portrayal of women in AI-generated content, revealing a concerning trend toward stereotypes and unequal representation. Focusing on Meta’s Llama 2 and OpenAI’s GPT-2 and GPT-3.5, the study underscores biases pervasive in AI algorithms, associating women with domestic roles while depicting men in prestigious professions. Despite GPT-3.5 demonstrating lesser bias, concerns loom over its closed-source nature, hindering accountability. UNESCO urges tech giants to confront these biases, emphasizing the critical role of diversity in AI development. Director General Audrey Azoulay stresses the urgency to rectify gender biases, aligning with International Women’s Day’s message of equality in the digital era.
