Covert Racism in AI Chatbots
AI chatbots show covert racism by recommending death penalty more often for those who write in African American English, matching AAE speakers with less prestigious jobs, and describing AAE as 'stupid' and 'lazy'. This could have massive harmful effects on African American individuals in areas of employment and criminal justice.
