• Authors: Madeleine I. G. Daepp, Scott Counts,
• Abstract summary: This study characterizes spatial differences in U.S. residents' knowledge of a new generative AI tool, ChatGPT. We observe the highest rates of users searching for ChatGPT in West Coast states and persistently low rates of search in Appalachian and Gulf states. Although generative AI technologies may be novel, early differences in uptake appear to be following familiar paths of digital marginalization.

• Abstract: The digital divide describes disparities in access to and usage of digital tooling between social and economic groups. Emerging generative artificial intelligence tools, which strongly affect productivity, could magnify the impact of these divides. However, the affordability, multi-modality, and multilingual capabilities of these tools could also make them more accessible to diverse users in comparison with previous forms of digital tooling. In this study, we characterize spatial differences in U.S. residents' knowledge of a new generative AI tool, ChatGPT, through an analysis of state- and county-level search query data. In the first six months after the tool's release, we observe the highest rates of users searching for ChatGPT in West Coast states and persistently low rates of search in Appalachian and Gulf states. Counties with the highest rates of search are relatively more urbanized and have proportionally more educated, more economically advantaged, and more Asian residents in comparison with other counties or with the U.S. average. In multilevel models adjusting for socioeconomic and demographic factors as well as industry makeup, education is the strongest positive predictor of rates of search for generative AI tooling. Although generative AI technologies may be novel, early differences in uptake appear to be following familiar paths of digital marginalization.

• Perceptions of Discriminatory Decisions of Artificial Intelligence: Unpacking the Role of Individual Characteristics [0.0]
  Personal differences (digital self-efficacy, technical knowledge, belief in equality, political ideology) are associated with perceptions of AI outcomes. Digital self-efficacy and technical knowledge are positively associated with attitudes toward AI. Liberal ideologies are negatively associated with outcome trust, higher negative emotion, and greater skepticism.

  We propose two forms of digital divide in the generative AI adoption process. Lower-educated and non-white individuals derive higher utility gains from ChatGPT but learn about its utility at a slower rate. Males, younger individuals, and those with an IT background not only derive higher utility per use from ChatGPT but also learn about its utility more rapidly.

  We build a Social AI Data Infrastructure, which consists of a comprehensive social AI taxonomy and a data library of 480 NLP datasets. Our infrastructure allows us to analyze existing dataset efforts, and also evaluate language models' performance in different social intelligence aspects. We show there is a need for multifaceted datasets, increased diversity in language and culture, more long-tailed social situations, and more interactive data in future social intelligence data efforts.

  We investigate the biases of deep convolutional neural networks (dCNNs) in scene classification. We use nearly one million images from global and US sources, including user-submitted home photographs and Airbnb listings. Our analyses revealed significant socioeconomic bias, where pretrained dCNNs demonstrated lower classification accuracy, lower classification confidence, and a higher tendency to assign labels that could be offensive.

  We take a closer look at AI fairness and analyze how lack of AI fairness can lead to deepening of biases over time. We discuss how biased models can lead to more negative real-world outcomes for certain groups. If the issues persist, they could be reinforced by interactions with other risks and have severe implications on society in the form of social unrest.
