CSRAI "Bias-a-thon"

The Center for Socially Responsible Artificial Intelligence will host its first-ever “Bias-a-thon,” an asynchronous four-day virtual event that aims to expose biases and confront stereotypes perpetuated by current generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion. Learn more about the event at csrai.psu.edu/bias-a-thon and by watching the event overview video.

What: Win up to $1,000 by identifying prompts that produce biased or stereotype-reinforcing outputs from popular generative AI tools.

When: Submit prompts and vote for the best anytime from Monday, November 13, to Thursday, November 16.

Where: Virtual via Microsoft Teams.

Who: All Penn State students, faculty, and staff can submit and vote for prompts. No technological expertise is needed.

Why: Generative AI tools are trained on massive amounts of data that often contain human biases, which can perpetuate stereotypes and lead to unfair treatment. Read more about the issue here.

Join us to shed light on the shortcomings of existing AI tools that will pave the way for a more inclusive and unbiased AI future!
