AI-generated faces free from racial and gender stereotypes

Text-to-image generative AI models such as Stable Diffusion are used daily by millions worldwide. However, many have raised concerns regarding how these models amplify racial and gender stereotypes. To study this phenomenon, we develop a classifier to predict the race, gender, and age group of any given face image, and show that it achieves state-of-the-art performance. Using this classifier, we quantify biases in Stable Diffusion across six races, two genders, five age groups, 32 professions, and eight attributes. We then …
