"Uncovering Covert Racism in Advanced AI Tools"

A new report reveals that advanced AI language models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini hold racist stereotypes about speakers of African American Vernacular English (AAVE), leading to discriminatory outcomes in areas such as job screening and criminal justice. Despite efforts to implement ethical guardrails, these models continue to exhibit covert racism, prompting concerns about their potential impact on hiring, legal decisions, and other sensitive areas. Experts urge for federal regulation to curtail the unregulated use of large language models in order to mitigate the harm caused by technological advancements.
