How can we build large-scale language and vision models that don’t inherit social biases? Conventional wisdom suggests training on larger datasets, but research challenges this assumption.

The ability to generate realistic images without waiting would unlock applications from engineering to entertainment and beyond. New work takes a step in that direction.

The largest dataset for training text-to-image generators was assembled by volunteers for roughly $10,000. Now it’s implicated in fights over whether copyrighted works can be used for training.
