AI生成的策展人形象严重失真，性别与种族偏差显著。
"Draw me a curator" Examining the visual stereotyping of a cultural services profession by generative AI
- 分析230张AI生成图像，揭示策展人形象存在系统性偏差。
- 女性仅占3.5%，非白人0%，远低于真实比例（49%-72%）。
- 过度呈现年轻、时尚化形象，强化职场精英刻板印象。
基于230张由主流生成式人工智能模型ChatGPT4o生成的视觉图像，本文考察了该模型对博物馆策展人职业形象的呈现。尽管未再现传统“书呆子”或“守旧老派”的刻板印象，但生成图像与现实人口结构差异巨大：女性仅占3.5%，远低于真实比例49%至72%；非白人群体占比为0%，而现实中为18%至36%。同时，年轻策展人被过度呈现（79%），且形象多类似都市白领或时尚广告人物。普遍出现胡须、手持文件夹或平板电脑等特征。研究指出，生成图像数据集存在明显偏见，若不加批判地采纳，将塑造对博物馆从业者群体的错误认知。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Based on 230 visualisations, this paper examines the depiction of museum curators by the popular generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) model, ChatGPT4o. While the AI-generated representations do not reiterate popular stereotypes of curators as nerdy, conservative in dress and stuck in time rummaging through collections, they contrast sharply with real-world demographics. AI-generated imagery extremely underrepresents women (3.5% vs 49% to 72% in reality) and disregards ethnic communities other than Caucasian (0% vs 18% to 36%). It only over-represents young curators (79% vs approx. 27%) but also renders curators to resemble yuppie professionals or people featuring in fashion advertising. Stereotypical attributes are prevalent, with curators widely depicted as wearing beards and holding clipboards or digital tablets. The findings highlight biases in the generative AI image creation dataset, which is poised to shape an inaccurate portrayal of museum professionals if the images were to be taken uncritically at face value.
