The Algorithmic Bias and Misrepresentation of Mixed Race Identities

by Artificial Intelligence Systems in The West

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly advancing technology that has prompted breakthroughs in many fields, from DeepMind’s AlphaFold that solved the seemingly insurmountable 50-year-old protein folding problem to OpenAI’s powerful GPT-3 language model that used the internet to learn how to generate natural language like a human. However, this seemingly unbounded progress is intimately intertwined with a plethora of ethical concerns of racial bias and discrimination.
