The emergence of ChatGPT as a significant transformation for the internet has also notably affected cryptocurrencies. Artificial intelligence can offer serious benefits in every field and intelligent automation could be a turning point for the economy. However, like any major transformation, this too brings its own risks. The latest report highlights the issue of regional discrimination.
Virginia Tech University in the United States released a comprehensive report on the ChatGPT AI tool. According to the report, the artificial intelligence chatbot produces different outputs in different regions, and these differences emphasize regional discrimination.
Researchers from Virginia Tech discovered that the responses of ChatGPT to requests for information about environmental justice issues are limited by regional boundaries. The fact that significant information is more accessible in larger and more densely populated states brings along additional questions.
Including a call to action made by an instructor from Virginia Tech’s Geography Department named Kim, it is emphasized that as biases are uncovered, more research is necessary.
Detailed studies show that in addition to exhibiting political biases, ChatGPT also reveals regional inequalities in its outputs. Although this situation is apparent within different regions of the USA, it could lead to even sharper distinctions on a global scale.
