Geographic Bias and Diversity in AI Evaluation 文章

arXiv:2606.05187v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Among the many challenges hindering the responsible development and deployment of AI, arguably none has faced more intense scrutiny than bias in its various forms. This underscores the widespread concerns across AI researchers that model outputs, e.g., from generative AI, may encode structural distributional imbalances (stemming from training data or model design) that may amplify social inequality or introduce systemic distortions across application domains ranging from biodiversity to disaster mitigation. Yet, relatively little work has investigated the geographical nature of bias or developed measurable benchmarks for what it means for (generative) AI to be unbiased. In this chapter, we investigate this issue through a literature review. As foundation models are reshaping the landscape of bias research, we examine work spanning both the pre-generative AI and generative AI periods. First, we identify a range of geographic biases.
