Date: January 16, 2025Source: WikipediaGenerative AI models can reflect and amplify cultural biases present in the underlying data. For example, a language model might assume that doctors and judges are male, and that secretaries or nurses are female, if those biases are common in the training data. Similarly, an image model prompted with the text 'a photo of a CEO' might disproportionately generate images of white male CEOs, if trained on a racially biased data set.Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_artificial_intelligenceDeepSeek’s new open-source AI model can outperform o1 for a fraction of the cost
