AI bias has been a growing concern as AI systems become more integrated into society. While there’s a substantial body of research, here are some recent studies that have gained significant attention:

Key Areas of AI Bias Research

• Algorithmic Bias: Studies examining how algorithms can perpetuate existing societal biases.
• Facial Recognition Bias: Research focusing on the inaccuracies of facial recognition systems, particularly for people of color.
• Language Model Bias: Investigations into biases present in large language models.
• AI in Healthcare: Studies analyzing AI’s impact on healthcare, including potential biases in diagnosis and treatment.
• AI in Criminal Justice: Research exploring the use of AI in criminal justice systems and associated biases.

Notable Studies

While I cannot provide a comprehensive list due to the vast amount of research, here are a few examples to give you a starting point:

• ProPublica’s study on COMPAS: This study highlighted racial bias in a risk assessment algorithm used in the US criminal justice system.
• Amazon’s recruiting tool bias: This case revealed gender bias in an AI-powered recruiting tool.
• Studies on facial recognition bias: Several studies have demonstrated higher error rates for facial recognition systems when identifying people of color.
