Because it singles people out for no reason. There is absolutely no reason to do a study like this that focuses on marginalized groups. Does this study make these marginalized groups lives better somehow by putting this information out there? Not a chance.
Research for the sake of doing research is assinine, and its rampant in academia. We have a publish or perish attitude in academia that is so pervasive its sickening...ask me how I know that (my partner is a professor)
And we basically all but force people to write papers and try to come up with novelty to justify their existence as a professor.
AI is a scourge on this earth in how we use it today. We didnt need a study to tell us that, much less to single out a few groups of people, who frankly dont need to be singled out anymore than they already have been by the Trump administration.
I mean, would you not want to do this specifically to see its effects on marginalized groups? That seems like a pretty good reason to me.
Admittedly, I didnt read the article. I think the research is actually beneficial after reading the article, and its exactly the kind of research I think should be done on AI.
Spoke prematurely based on the headline, go figure...
Props to you for admitting you spoke prematurely
