This is not meant to be negative or a joke but rather looking for a productive solution on AI development, engineering and its impact on human life:
Lately with my Google searches, the AI model keeps auto filling the ending of my searches with:
“...in Vietnamese”
And
“...in a Vietnamese home”
The issue is I have never searched for that but because of my last name the model is creating this context.
The other issue is that I’m a halfy and my dad is actually third generation, I grew up mainstream American and don’t even speak Vietnamese. I’m not even sure what a Vietnamese home means.
My buddy in a similar situation of South Asian and noticed the same exact thing more so with YouTube recommended videos.
We already have enough issues in the US with racism, projections of who others expect us to be based on any number of things, stereotyping and putting people in boxes to limit them - I truly believe AI is adding to the problem, not helping.
How can we fix this. Moreover, how can we use AI to bring out peoples true self, talents and empower and free them them to create their life how they like ?
There is huge potential here to harness AI in ways that can bring us more freedom, joy and beauty so people can be the whole of themselves and with who they really are. Then meet peoples needs, wishes, dreams and hope. Given them shoulders to stand on to create their reality, not live someone else's projection of themselves.
