Leading up to International Women's Day 2023, TEDxAmsterdam Women and Ace present MissJourney, an AI tool that generates images exclusively of women. From CEOs to leaders, … read moresuperheroes to doctors and engineers. MissJourney actively counters biased gender stereotypes; the initiators hope it will inspire AI developers to create smart, unbiased solutions. The theme of International Women's Day this year is 'Embrace Equity'.
Agency: ACE, Netherlands
Although artificial intelligence is playing an increasing role in our daily lives, there is insufficient equity and diversity in AI tools. When you ask AI tools to represent 100 common occupations and characters, less than 20 percent of the images show a woman. From dentist to superhero, athlete to CEO; the output consists almost entirely of white males.
MissJourney: MissJourney is an AI text-to-image generator that showcases women. The user-friendly AI tool, created by ACE in partnership with TEDxAmsterdam Women, was built to combat AI gender bias and introduce everyone to AI in an approachable way. The tool has built-in logic that helps AI make anti-stereotypical cues to create more diverse results from existing data models. When MissJourney is asked to create a portrait of a CEO, athlete or leader, rather than producing the usual male stereotypical examples this AI tool creates diverse female images.
