- AI can be biased in recognizing faces and emotions, such as classifying white people as happier than other racial backgrounds.
- Bias arises from skewed training data, where happy white faces were overrepresented, leading AI to correlate race with emotional expression.
- Most users don't notice AI bias unless they belong to the negatively portrayed group.
- Researchers emphasize the need for AI systems to 'work for everyone' by using diverse and representative training data.
- Black participants were more likely to detect bias, especially when their group was overrepresented for negative emotions.
- A study involving 769 participants tested user detection of bias across different AI performance scenarios.
- The study highlights the importance of recognizing unintended correlations in AI training data to prevent biased outcomes.
