<ul data-eligibleForWebStory="true">Generative AI models' widespread use has led to concerns about bias and discrimination.The mechanisms of bias in unconditional image generation models are not fully understood.Bias is defined as the difference between an attribute's probability in observed vs. ideal distributions.Researchers trained unconditional image generative models and evaluated bias shifts.Experiments showed minor shifts in attributes between training and generated distributions.Attribute shifts were influenced by the attribute classifier used in the evaluation.Classifier sensitivity was observed for attributes with values on a spectrum.There is a need for improved labeling practices and scrutiny of evaluation frameworks.Understanding the socially complex nature of attributes is crucial in bias evaluation.
