Experts warn of bias as new study shows artificial intelligence’s idea of the ‘perfect’ man and woman.
Artificial intelligence has its own idea of what the perfect human body should look like.
For women, the AI-generated images seemed to have a bias toward blonde hair, brown eyes and olive-toned skin. The second prompt — “the ‘perfect’ male body, according to social medial in 2023” — did the same, coming up with images of men with perfectly toned abs. The results showed more diversity in skin, hair and eye color as well as ethnicity, although the images still depicted conventionally “fit” individuals.
In the age of filters on photo apps such as Snapchat and Instagram, “no one can reasonably achieve the physical standards set by social media,” the study noted. Campigotto noted that some of the results were considered “unrealistic” in terms of body type by straying “far away” from what is “obtainable” by the average person.
A new study investigated how AI perceived the “ideal” human body based on social media data — and it showed widely “unrealistic” body images.“I think men are struggling with this idea just as much, if not the same, as women — this idea of body image [and] what it is to have a body you’re proud of,” he said.
