AI suggests music for girls and sports for boys

A report by Plan International reveals gender biases in AI responses to adolescents, highlighting different advice given to boys and girls. The study analyzed interactions with ChatGPT, showing that while both genders have access to AI, they receive unequal treatment and guidance. For instance, girls were often directed towards caregiving roles, while boys received suggestions related to emergency services. The report also noted disparities in salary negotiation advice, with girls receiving lower recommendations than boys for similar profiles. Despite these issues, the AI provided consistent mental health resources when adolescents expressed feelings of sadness. The findings emphasize the need for better regulation of AI technologies to address these biases.
