Why this petition matters

Started by Gary Marcus

New research by researchers at Stanford University, Oxford, U. Chicago, and LMU Munich, establishes considerable covert racism in large language models.

This work shows that a user’s dialect can influence AI’s representations of people’s character, employment, and even criminality.  Furthermore, larger models seem more prone to these issues.

We call on the developers and distributors of these systems to immediately recall their systems until these problems are resolved.
