OpenAI says ChatGPT treats us all the same (most of the time)

Full Article

OpenAI's research reveals that ChatGPT can produce harmful gender or racial stereotypes based on user names, with a bias rate of about one in 1000 responses. Despite these rates appearing low, the vast user base of 200 million weekly interactions means that even small percentages can lead to significant bias. The study highlights the need for improved evaluation methods to address these biases in AI models.

The research distinguishes between 'first-person fairness' and 'third-person fairness,' focusing on how user names influence ChatGPT's responses. Examples show that responses can vary significantly based on perceived gender, indicating a reliance on historical stereotypes. OpenAI aims to expand its analysis to include various user attributes, enhancing the understanding of bias in AI interactions.

• ChatGPT shows bias based on user names in responses.

• OpenAI aims to improve AI model evaluations to reduce bias.
