The idea
NIST's sixth risk includes harmful bias: generative AI can amplify historical and societal biases and perform worse for some groups or languages.
In practice
NIST's example: image generators asked for chief executives, doctors or judges under-represent women, racial minorities and people with disabilities.
Where people slip
NIST adds that tools may be trusted to perform equally for everyone when they do not.
