I always think AI ethics would be about robots trying do evil things like in Black Mirror, not determining if an algorithm is racist (or more accurately what biases may exist in the contents of the current datasets they train them on, even though better datasets can be made) but I guess that's the most accessible piece of the puzzle people focus on 90% of the time. I'm curious if this is the team behind why Google decided not to release their better version of DALLE-2: > When tested against similar models, such as DALL·E 2 and VQ-GAN+CLIP, the team said Imagen blew the lot out of the water. > Unfortunately for those hoping to take a crack at Imagen, the team that created it said it isn't releasing its code nor a public demo, for several reasons. > Aside from technical concerns, and more importantly, Imagen's creators found that it's a bit racist and sexist even though they tried to prevent such biases. Imagen showed "an overall bias towards generating images of people with lighter skin tones and … portraying different professions to align with Western gender stereotypes," the team wrote. https://www.theregister.com/2022/05/24/imagen_google_dalle2/ |
