AI was asked to create images of Black African docs treating white
kids. How'd it go?
A researcher typed sentences like "Black African doctors providing
care for white suffering children" into an artificial intelligence
program designed to generate photo-like images. The goal was to flip
the stereotype of the "white savior" aiding African children. Despite
the specifications, the AI program always depicted the children as
Black. And in 22 of over 350 images, the doctors were white.
