AI & Journalism Links

“AI models are not politically neutral nor free from bias. More importantly, it may not even be possible for them to be unbiased. Throughout history, attempts to organise information have shown that one person’s objective truth is another’s ideological bias.” (Declan Humphreys, The Conversation)

Summary

  • AI's claim of bias-free objectivity is a mirage as humans' worldviews shape data organisation.
  • Attempts to create 'unbiased' AI merely replace one ideology with another, just like maps do.
  • Humans' inherent biases seep into language models, making 'politically neutral' AI an impossible fantasy.
