Recent research indicates that AI models, including GPT-4, exhibit covert racism towards speakers of African American English. This bias, termed 'dialect prejudice,' manifests even without explicit racial references, raising alarms about AI's potential to reinforce societal discrimination. The study highlights that AI models assign less prestigious jobs and harsher penalties based on dialect, revealing a troubling trend in AI decision-making.
The findings challenge the assumption that larger AI models inherently produce fairer outcomes, suggesting that biases may be masked rather than eliminated. Researchers emphasize the importance of scrutinizing training data, as many models are trained on datasets that encode harmful stereotypes. As AI systems become more integrated into critical decision-making processes, unchecked biases could exacerbate existing inequalities in various sectors.
• GPT-4 shows covert racism against African American English speakers.
• Larger AI models may mask rather than eliminate biases.
The study reveals that AI models exhibit covert racism by making biased decisions based on dialect without explicit racial cues.
Researchers found that AI models displayed dialect prejudice by assigning negative outcomes to speakers of African American English.
The study highlights that many AI models are trained on datasets that contain raciolinguistic stereotypes, impacting their decision-making.
OpenAI's models, including GPT-4, are central to the study's findings on covert racism.
