Multimodal datasets: misogyny, pornography, and malignant stereotypes
What it is
Abeba Birhane, Vinay Prabhu and Emmanuel Kahembwe audit the LAION-400M dataset used to train popular image models and document the racist, misogynistic and non-consensual material inside it.
Why I recommend it
The paper to read before anyone tells you a model is fine because the data was "publicly available". Free in full on arXiv.
