Virginia Tech, a university in the United States, has published a report outlining potential biases in the artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT, suggesting variations in its outputs on environmental justice issues across different counties.<\/p>\n
In a recent report, researchers from Virginia Tech have alleged that ChatGPT has limitations in delivering area-specific information regarding environmental justice issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However,\u00a0the study identified a trend indicating that the information was more readily available to the larger, densely populated states.<\/p>\n
“In states with larger urban populations such as Delaware or California, fewer than 1 percent of the population lived in counties that cannot receive specific information.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Meanwhile, regions with smaller populations lacked equivalent access.<\/p>\n
“In rural states such as Idaho and New Hampshire, more than 90 percent of the population lived in counties that could not receive local-specific information,” the report stated.<\/p>\n
It further cited a lecturer named Kim from Virginia Tech’s Department of Geography urging the need for further research as prejudices are being discovered.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile more study is needed, our findings reveal that geographic biases currently exist in the ChatGPT model,” Kim declared.<\/p>\n
The research paper also included a map illustrating the extent of the U.S. population without access to location-specific information on environmental justice issues.<\/p>\n
