AI-generated images of physicians are disproportionately white and male, according to a study published August 6 in JAMA Open Network. Researchers asked five popular AI text-to-image platforms to produce images of physicians and found that generated images were more frequently white (82% vs. 63%; p “These biases necessitate closer examination of the training data and algorithms used by AI platforms,” wrote lead author Sang Won Lee, of Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, and colleagues.
