WhatsApp AI Image Generator Shows Anti-Palestinian Bias, Report Finds

WhatsApp's new AI image generator returns images of guns and violence when prompted with terms related to Palestine and Palestinians.

Prompts related to Israelis and Jews generate more positive images of children reading, playing sports, etc.

The Guardian tested the feature and reported biased results favoring Israelis over Palestinians.

A former Meta employee says WhatsApp's biased AI has been reported internally but the issue persists.

WhatsApp and Meta say their policies are designed to give everyone a voice but content may be mistakenly removed.
