Luke Budka, our AI Director says:

“These images of working mums from around the world clearly show AI ‘bias’ and usage of stereotypes.

“You can clearly see the AI has imposed its own interpretation on the images. This technology is really fascinating and fun to engage with, and it will continue to evolve and improve. But it’s important to use it with a sense of awareness and responsibility – especially given its baked in bias.

“Many companies are starting to use AI, but there are huge variations in the quality of content generated. As such we’re doing a lot of prompt engineering training to help ensure everything our clients create, sounds and looks just right.”
