Study finds people pay female AI less than male AI

Original: Forget AI bias in code! A new study shows humans paid a female AI 10.25% less than an identical male AI in a virtual off

A new study on gender bias in virtual workplaces found that participants paid a female AI 10.25% less than an identical male AI for the same work. Participants claimed gender did not influence their decisions, yet the pay gap persisted anyway. Researchers say the finding shows bias is rooted in human prejudice rather than machine behaviour, raising concerns about how easily gender discrimination carries over into interactions with AI agents.

Why now: The counterintuitive finding that humans transfer gender pay bias to AI agents challenges the usual focus on machine bias.

• Forget AI bias in code! A new study shows humans paid a female AI 10.25% less than an identical male AI in a virtual office. Despite denying gender matters, participants' wallets revealed ingrained prejudice, proving bias is a human, not machine, flaw. # AI # news # Research #… · AEGISAlliance · 3
