“How AI reduces the world to stereotypes”
Rest of World | 2023 | Design
With the recent breakthroughs in the field of AI image generation, we created and analyzed 3,000 images on Midjourney to explore how AI “sees the world.” To showcase the depth of the data without overwhelming our readers, I designed an interactive grid that could display the various image sets made by specific prompts. Custom filters highlight specific elements — and stereotypes — within sets and add another layer of analysis. The result reveals the persistence of bias and stereotypes in AI on a digestible scale.
