-ACTION WEEK AGAINST RACISM-
Racial and Discriminatory Bias in Generative AI: Text, Images and the Politics of Representation
Round Table (60' + 10' Q&A)
When : Tue 24 March 2026
Where : Forum, Rolex Learning Center
Time : 17:30 - 19:30 (with an Apéro at the end)
Open to all
This event is a collaboration between the Equal Opportunity Office (VPH-WINC-DEI) and the AI Center
The roundtable will explore how generative AI systems, including large language models (LLM) and image-generation tools, increasingly shape representations of people, identities, and social groups. Through textual, visual, and multimodal outputs, these systems may reproduce or amplify racial stereotypes, discriminatory patterns and forms of exclusion. While often perceived as neutral technologies, they embed social, cultural, and political assumptions that call for critical examination.
The discussion will begin with a short introductory overview of generative AI to ensure a shared foundation for the audience. The conversation will then address issues related to the models themselves, particularly the ways in which they reproduce, and at times intensify, existing social realities such as racism, stereotypes and discrimination. For this edition, the focus will primarily be on racial bias.
We aim to bring together complementary perspectives, including:
