Chanel CEO’s AI Encounter Highlights Gender Disparity in Leadership
Chanel’s CEO Leena Nair has criticised the AI model ChatGPT for creating an all-male team when asked to present a leadership group from the brand. ChatGPT’s apparent gender bias contrasts with Chanel’s employee makeup, which is 76% female. Nair, who is the second woman and first Indian CEO of the company, is invested in AI integration for Chanel, but plans to address the biases seen in such technologies. In a statement, an OpenAI spokesperson acknowledged bias as a significant problem in AI, pledging continued work to reduce it. Fortune later reported that ChatGPT generated an image with both men and women present when given the same instructions.
