Artificial Intelligence Is Stereotypically Linked More with Socially Dominant Groups in Natural Language.

ABSTRACT: Despite the increasingly important role that artificial intelligence (AI) plays in society, its social representation remains underexplored. This study reveals that AI is asymmetrically stereotyped, being more closely associated with socially dominant groups. This conclusion is based on these investigations of AI's associations along the warmth-competence dimensions of the stereotype content model, its connections with socially advantaged (e.g., men, young, rich, white) versus disadvantaged (e.g., women, old, poor, non-white) demographic groups, and its perceived impact on high- versus low-prestige occupations.
