Interesting sidebar on AI ethics: Women are avoiding it based on personal ethical considerations.
…women appear to be worried about the potential costs of relying on computer-generated information, particularly if it’s perceived as unethical or “cheating.”
“Women face greater penalties in being judged as not having expertise in different fields,” Koning says. “They might be worried that someone would think even though they got the answer right, they ‘cheated’ by using ChatGPT.”
Perhaps more relevant to this thread is the potential for increasingly biased AI reasoning from a gender perspective (in addition to a moral one):
The large language models that underpin generative AI improve as they gain new information, not only from data sources but also from users’ prompts. A lack of input from women could result in AI systems that reinforce gender stereotypes and ignore the inequities women face in everything from pay to childcare.
“If it is learning predominantly from men, does that cause these tools to potentially respond differently or be biased in ways that could have long-term effects?” Koning asks.
