When AI imagines cities, smaller communities can disappear

Virginia Tech
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The team of researchers at Virginia Tech, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), and the University of Alabama discovered that AI-generated images were consistently better at representing larger metropolitan areas than smaller towns such as Blacksburg. The findings raise questions about how generative artificial intelligence tools portray places and whose communities are most visible online.
