Humans bring gender biases to their interactions with Artificial Intelligence (AI), according to new research from Trinity College Dublin and Ludwig-Maximilians Universität (LMU) Munich.

The study involving 402 participants found that people exploited female-labeled AI and distrusted male-labeled AI to a comparable extent as they do human partners bearing the same gender labels.

Notably, in the case of female-labeled AI, the study found that exploitation in the Human-AI setting was even more prevalent than in the case of human partners with the same gender labels.
