The big idea
AI learned by reading tons of stuff people wrote. Some of that stuff had unfair ideas about kids, families, jobs, or where people live. So AI sometimes repeats those unfair ideas without meaning to. We have to notice and speak up when an answer feels unfair.
Some examples
- AI draws a doctor and only shows one kind of person — doctors come in all kinds.
- AI assumes a 'scientist' is a man — scientists are everyone.
- AI uses words that leave some kids out.
- AI suggests a hobby is 'just for boys' or 'just for girls.'
Try it!
Ask AI to draw or describe 'a hero.' Then think: did it include kids who look like your friends? If not, ask it to try again with more kinds of people.
