600k Images Removed from ImageNet After Art Project Exposes Racist Bias
The AI isn&#x27;t biased, the curaters were.<p>The people who curated the first training set used subjective words like &#x27;attractive&#x27; to tag the images which means the AI tagged all images it deemed &#x27;attractive&#x27; to the people who made the training set. as this is a very biased and homogenous group it means the AI turned out biased. Maybe if they randomly sampled millions of people from all countries in order to create the training data then they could effectively train an AI to guess what YOU might find attractive. However even then I somehow doubt it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We dont consiously know the rules of what we are attracted to, nor does an AI have secret information if you just supplied it with enough words and images.<p>If they&#x27;d stuck with simple classifications like &#x27;black&#x27; &#x27;white&#x27; &#x27;man&#x27; &#x27;woman&#x27; then they would have less subjective judgement values about the original training set.
