• Title: She Works, He Works: A Curious Exploration of Gender Bias in AI-Generated Imagery
• Authors: Amalia Foka,
• Abstract summary: This paper examines gender bias in AI-generated imagery of construction workers, highlighting discrepancies in the portrayal of male and female figures. Grounded in Griselda Pollock's theories on visual culture and gender, the analysis reveals that AI models tend to sexualize female figures while portraying male figures as more authoritative and competent.

• Abstract: This paper examines gender bias in AI-generated imagery of construction workers, highlighting discrepancies in the portrayal of male and female figures. Grounded in Griselda Pollock's theories on visual culture and gender, the analysis reveals that AI models tend to sexualize female figures while portraying male figures as more authoritative and competent. These findings underscore AI's potential to mirror and perpetuate societal biases, emphasizing the need for critical engagement with AI-generated content. The project contributes to discussions on the ethical implications of AI in creative practices and its broader impact on cultural perceptions of gender.

  The study examines how ontonorms propagate certain gender practices in digital spaces through character and the norms of spaces that shape AI design, training and use. By examining how data and content can knowingly or unknowingly be used to drive certain social norms in the AI ecosystems, this study argues that ontonorms shape how AI engages with the content that relates to women.

  We propose a multitask learning approach to enhance the performance of the misogyny identification systems. We incorporated diverse perspectives from annotators in our model design, considering gender and age across six profile groups. This research advances content moderation and highlights the importance of embracing diverse perspectives to build effective online moderation systems.

  This study analyzed images generated by three popular generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools to investigate potential bias in AI generators. All three AI generators exhibited bias against women and African Americans. Women were depicted as younger with more smiles and happiness, while men were depicted as older with more neutral expressions and anger.

• The Male CEO and the Female Assistant: Evaluation and Mitigation of Gender Biases in Text-To-Image Generation of Dual Subjects [58.27353205269664]
  We propose the Paired Stereotype Test (PST) framework, which queries T2I models to depict two individuals assigned with male-stereotyped and female-stereotyped social identities. PST queries T2I models to depict two individuals assigned with male-stereotyped and female-stereotyped social identities. Using PST, we evaluate two aspects of gender biases -- the well-known bias in gendered occupation and a novel aspect: bias in organizational power.

  VisoGender is a novel dataset for benchmarking gender bias in vision-language models. We focus on occupation-related biases within a hegemonic system of binary gender, inspired by Winograd and Winogender schemas. We benchmark several state-of-the-art vision-language models and find that they demonstrate bias in resolving binary gender in complex scenes.

  We examined the prevalence of two occupational gender biases in 15,300 DALL-E 2 images spanning 153 occupations. DALL-E 2 underrepresents women in male-dominated fields while overrepresenting them in female-dominated occupations. Our computational algorithm auditing study demonstrates more pronounced representational and presentational biases in DALL-E 2 compared to Google Images.
