Stereotypes and Smut: The (Mis)representation of Non-cisgender Identities by Text-to-Image Models (2023.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Initial studies have pointed to the potential for harm due to predictive bias, reflecting and potentially reinforcing cultural stereotypes. |
| Approach: | They conduct a survey among non-cisgender individuals and interviews to establish which harms affected individuals anticipate, and how they would like to be represented. |
| Outcome: | The results show that certain non-cisgender identities are consistently (mis)represented as less human, more stereotyped and more sexualised. |

| Challenge: | Existing literature on the ethical aspects of large language models (LLMs) is lacking a single practical guide on the subject. |
| Approach: | They propose to translate ethics literature into concrete recommendations for computer scientists by presenting an open and living resource for NLP practitioners and those tasked with evaluating the ethical implications of others’ work. |
| Outcome: | The proposed guide is an open and living resource for NLP practitioners and those tasked with evaluating the ethical implications of others’ work. |
