According to reports, machine learning expert Jochim Gitma discovered that Apple's Image Playground app struggled to recognize his skin tone and hair texture, and exhibited racial bias when following instructions. Although the app has limited its functionality to generating cartoon-style facial images in an attempt to partially avoid such issues, the phenomenon still occurred.
For AI image generation models, this kind of problem is not uncommon. Nevertheless, Apple's misstep in this area has drawn attention. The Image Playground app was originally designed to offer a more relaxed and creative image generation experience, but the issues uncovered have raised questions about the app's accuracy and fairness.
This incident once again highlights concerns about bias in AI technology. As AI technology continues to evolve, ensuring its fairness and accuracy across various application scenarios has become an urgent issue that needs to be addressed.
