Wie sehen KI-Bibliothekar*innen aus? Die wissenschaftliche Arbeit “What do librarians look like? Stereotyping of a profession by generative Ai” hat diese Frage untersucht:
“This study aims to investigate the presence of bias in the visual representation of librarians generated by ChatGPT across three different library settings: school, public, and academic. It focuses on analysing biases related to gender, ethnicity, age, attire, hairstyles and library design in the generated images. The research employed a zero-shot prompting technique to instruct ChatGPT to create visualisations of librarians in the specified settings, either interacting with another librarian or advising a library user. The generated images were then evaluated based on criteria such as positioning, posture, visual cues indicating age and gender and the characteristics of the library environment.”
