Google's AI Mode provided bland, basic information when queried about furniture but revealed bias in its responses regarding bicycles. The AI gave clear safety tips, portraying cyclists as vulnerable and in need of management. In contrast, searching for information about cars received a neutral history followed by a positive framing, indicating a disparity in the treatment of cars versus bicycles. This highlights the inconsistency in how AI generates content regarding safety and responsibility among different types of vehicles.
To ensure a safe ride, consider these tips: Wear a Helmet: A properly fitted helmet is crucial for protecting your head in case of a crash. Be Visible: Wear bright clothing during the day and use reflective gear and lights at night or when visibility is poor. Follow Traffic Laws: Obey traffic signs, signals, and road markings.
In short, the response of the AI was to cast cyclists as vulnerable, erratic objects in need of management and self-discipline.
When I searched 'car,' I got something different. Yes, there was first the neutral history, but it was followed up with an overwhelmingly positive framing.
The AI’s approach to bicycles emphasized safety and vulnerability while in contrast the response for cars lacked this nuance.
