AI chatbots & their bias towards women

A new study also finds AI bots are overly empathetic

- REWATI KARAN

EVER SINCE GENERATIVE AI chatbots have come into existence, they have been a rage. No matter how many safety concerns have been flagged, people still tend to use them to share their feelings and emotions — even considering them therapists and asking them to psychoanalyse their thoughts. And as the debate lurks on and people cannot stop comparing them with humans because essentially the scepticism around AI is that it has a certain edge over humans and just might replace humans in certain tasks.

Some of the scepticism is true and some might be overstretching things a little bit. Instead of speculating, let's talk about the most human thing ever — empathy and how AI chatbots fare on that front. We have a new study that is analysing how AI bots replicate human empathy.
