This is the best summary I could come up with:
In response to a prompt for “Israel army” the AI created drawings of soldiers smiling and praying, no guns involved.
As the Israeli bombardment of Gaza continues, users say Meta is enforcing its moderation policies in a biased way, a practice they say amounts to censorship.
Kevin McAlister, a Meta spokesperson, said the company was aware of the issue and addressing it: “As we said when we launched the feature, the models could return inaccurate or inappropriate outputs as with all generative AI systems.
In response to the Guardian’s reporting on the AI-generated stickers, the Australian senator Mehreen Faruqi, deputy leader of the Greens party, called on the country’s e-safety commissioner to investigate “the racist and Islamophobic imagery being produced by Meta”.
“The AI imagery of Palestinian children being depicted with guns on WhatsApp is a terrifying insight into the racist and Islamophobic criteria being fed into the algorithm,” Faruqi said in an emailed statement.
A September 2022 study commissioned by the company found that Facebook and Instagram’s content policies during Israeli attacks on the Gaza strip in May 2021 violated Palestinian human rights.
