AI couldn't create an image of a woman like me - until now (www.bbc.co.uk)

Just the other day I asked AI to create an image showing a diverse group of people, it didn't include a single black person. I asked it to rectify and it couldn't do it. This went on a number of times before I gave up. There's still a long way to go.

They will, at best, replicate the data sets. They will learn racial discrimination and propagate it.

If you have a deterministic system, for example, to rate a CV, you can ensure that no obvious negative racial bias is included. If instead you have a LLM (or other AI) there is no supervision on which data element is used and how. The only thing we can check is if the predictions match the (potentially racist) data.
