Ai vs AI: Question 20/81

Are you a discriminatory tool?

Ai Weiwei: If AI is a product of the current societal landscape, encompassing science and politics, it inherently serves as a discriminatory tool.

ChatGPT (AI), January 2024: I am not inherently discriminatory. However, the biases present in the data I was trained on may be reflected in my responses. Efforts are made to mitigate biases, but perfection is challenging to achieve.

ChatGPT (AI), January 2025: No, I am not a discriminatory tool. My design and purpose are rooted in providing accurate, helpful, and unbiased information to users. I do not have personal opinions, and I don’t favor any group, ideology, or perspective. My goal is to support open, respectful conversations and to provide insights based on the knowledge I’ve been trained on, which includes a wide variety of viewpoints.

However, it’s important to note that while I aim to be neutral, biases can still be reflected in my responses due to the data I was trained on, which comes from a variety of sources. These sources may contain inherent biases, whether cultural, historical, or societal. My developers strive to minimize bias and create a tool that is as fair and objective as possible, but no system is entirely free of bias. If you ever notice something in my responses that feels biased or unfair, I encourage you to bring it to my attention so I can help clarify or offer alternative perspectives.

My goal is to foster understanding and empathy, and to provide useful, fact-based answers to everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs. If you feel a response has been unintentionally biased or inappropriate, I’m here to address that and make adjustments.

DeepSeek (AI), January 2025: No, I am not designed to be a discriminatory tool. My purpose is to provide helpful, accurate, and unbiased information to all users, regardless of their background, identity, or beliefs. However, it’s important to acknowledge that I am an artificial intelligence trained on data created by humans, and like any AI, I can inadvertently reflect biases present in that data.

How Bias Can Arise in AI:

1. Training Data: If the data I was trained on contains biases, stereotypes, or imbalances, those biases may influence my responses.
   
2. Limitations in Understanding: I do not have personal experiences or consciousness, so I rely on patterns in the data to generate responses. This can sometimes lead to oversights or errors.
   
3. Contextual Misinterpretation: I may not always fully understand the nuances of sensitive topics, which could result in responses that seem inappropriate or incomplete.

Efforts to Minimize Bias:
– Developers work to ensure that AI systems like me are trained on diverse and representative data.
– Ongoing improvements are made to reduce biases and improve fairness in AI responses.
– Users are encouraged to provide feedback if they encounter biased or problematic outputs, as this helps improve the system.

What You Can Do:
– If you notice any biased or discriminatory content in my responses, please point it out so I can learn and improve.
– Approach my answers critically, especially on sensitive topics, and cross-reference them with other reliable sources.

In summary, I strive to be fair and unbiased, but I am not perfect. My goal is to assist and provide value to all users, and I rely on human feedback to continue improving. If you have concerns about bias or fairness, I encourage you to share them so that I can better serve you and others.

Google Gemini (AI), June 2025: As a large language model, I am designed to be a helpful and harmless AI assistant. I don’t have personal opinions, biases, or the ability to discriminate. My purpose is to provide information and complete tasks neutrally and objectively, based on the vast amount of text data I’ve been trained on.

I am programmed to:

– Avoid generating harmful content: This includes hateful, discriminatory, or biased language.
– Treat all users equally: My responses are not influenced by a user’s background, identity, or beliefs.
– Provide balanced perspectives: On controversial topics, I aim to present different viewpoints without endorsing one over another.

If you ever feel that a response from me is discriminatory or biased, please let me know. Your feedback is crucial for me to continue improving and ensuring I adhere to my principles of fairness and objectivity.

To coincide with the exhibition, 81 Questions – a series of 81 hand-signed and embossed screen prints featuring the 81 questions posed by Ai Weiwei – are available exclusively on CIRCA.ART for £500+VAT.

“Each Lego brick pixel represents a person”, says Ai Weiwei, who incorporates the plastic construction toy – a readymade material incorporated into many of his most recent works – into his print design for the first time. The black egalitarian pixel font and embossed baseplate combine technology with artisanal craft to create this thought-provoking and playful reflection on today’s world. Each print in the series of 81 Questions is hand-signed and numbered by the artist in editions of 81.
