Missjourney is an AI tool that generates images of CEOs, superheroes, doctors and leaders in STEM—and each and every image’s subject is a woman. Research from TEDxAmsterdam Women shows that when generative AI tools are asked to visualize a professional, less than 20% of the images created depict a woman. As a result, TEDxAmsterdam Women and Ace teamed up to actively counter biased gender stereotypes in generative artificial intelligence.
This AI text-to-image generator exclusively creates diverse female images and fights for a future that’s both inspiring and inclusive. Amber Haank, strategy director at ACE, says, “Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly important part of our daily lives; it’s a whole new world we are collectively building. So why not get it right the first time and say goodbye to old-fashioned stereotypes?”
AI is only as effective as the systems in which it is developed, and to mitigate biases, brands are actively promoting diverse and inclusive representation by supplying algorithms with a range of images that challenge stereotypes.
