Claude.ai & ChatGPT: bias

Addressing and mitigating bias in AI models is a significant challenge that both platforms have tackled in different ways:

Claude.ai

Incorporates bias mitigation directly into its ‘constitutional AI’ training approach

Focuses on creating a foundational model with reduced inherent biases

Emphasises fairness and equal treatment across different demographic groups

OpenAI

Implements post-training bias reduction techniques

Utilises diverse training data to minimise demographic biases

Continues to research and develop new bias mitigation strategies

Both platforms acknowledge that bias mitigation is an ongoing process that requires continuous monitoring and improvement.
