AI-Driven News Changing Public Perspectives

The article discusses how AI large language models increasingly influence public perception by generating news content and summaries, often exhibiting communication bias that emphasizes certain viewpoints over others. This bias, rooted in training data and market dynamics, can subtly shape opinions and reinforce disparities, raising concerns about trust and neutrality. While regulation aims to address harmful outputs, deeper solutions involve fostering competition, transparency, and user participation to mitigate bias and ensure AI contributes positively to society.

"Google's Gemini AI Under Fire: Ohio Senator Demands Explanation Amid Controversy"

Ohio Senator J.D. Vance is calling for the breakup of Google, labeling it as "one of the most dangerous companies in the world" due to its alleged left-wing bias and control over information flow. This comes in response to Google's admission of racial and historical bias in its AI model Gemini, which led to inaccurate historical images. Vance and other lawmakers are demanding accountability and potential legislative action against the tech giant, citing concerns about its influence on democracy and information consumption.

Unveiling the Hidden Bias: AI's Role in Addressing Skin Color Discrimination

Sony AI researchers argue that current skin tone scales used to test AI algorithms for bias are limited in their focus on lightness or darkness of skin tone, overlooking biases against individuals with red and yellow skin hues. They propose a more "multidimensional" measurement of skin color based on the CIELAB color standard to address this issue and create more diverse and representative AI systems. The researchers found that current scales overrepresent lighter and redder skin tones, leading to less accurate AI systems. While some major AI players, including Google and Amazon, have welcomed Sony's research, others argue that simplicity is important in skin tone scales to ensure cognitive accuracy and reliability.

The Rise of AI-Generated Headshots: Pros and Cons for Young Professionals

Young professionals are increasingly turning to generative artificial intelligence (AI) to create professional headshots, bypassing the need for photographers. Users submit their own images and select a desired style, and the AI software generates the headshots. However, these services are not without flaws, as some generated photos may have extra limbs or struggle with accurate depictions of features like teeth, ears, and hair. AI bias is also a concern, with some users noticing alterations to their skin tone, eye color, and body shape. Despite these issues, the convenience and affordability of AI headshots make them an attractive option for those with limited budgets.

"Examining GPT-4's Biases in Medical Tasks: Racial and Gender Disparities Revealed"

A new study has revealed that GPT-4, a large language model, displays biases in medical tasks, raising concerns about its use in healthcare. While GPT-4 has shown impressive accuracy in solving tough medical cases, it has also produced problematic and biased results when generating likely diagnoses or patient case studies. The biases observed in GPT-4 are similar to, or even more exaggerated than, those exhibited by humans. Healthcare leaders are urged to proceed with caution and address these biases before deploying GPT-4 in clinical settings.

The Urgency of Halting OpenAI GPT Releases and Extending AI Pause

The Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Policy has filed a complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) asking it to stop OpenAI from issuing new commercial releases of GPT-4, citing concerns over bias, deception, and risks to privacy and public safety. The group claims that OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 fails to meet the FTC's standards of transparency, explainability, fairness, and empirical soundness while fostering accountability. The complaint follows an open letter signed by Elon Musk and other AI experts calling for a six-month pause in developing systems more powerful than OpenAI's newly launched GPT-4, citing potential risks to society.
