A recent study reveals that AI-powered chatbots inherit and disseminate cultural stereotypes, reflecting biases prevalent online. Conducted by Margaret Mitchell and her team, the research identifies over 300 stereotypes globally, showing significant variations in how AI models respond based on their training location and language. For instance, differences emerge between models trained in the U.S. versus those in China regarding topics like communism. As these language models are meant for a global audience, they often fail to capture essential cultural nuances.
The study highlights how AI-powered chatbots perpetuate cultural stereotypes gathered from online discourse, affecting responses and recognizing biases across different languages.
Mitchell emphasized that language models often reflect Western stereotypes, particularly those rooted in U.S. culture, without adequately addressing international nuances.
