This study investigates how AI image generators portray gender across different professional roles.
Systematic comparison of output from five AI image generators: Ideogram, Leonardo AI, Meta AI, Stable Diffusion, and Tensor Art.
Analysis focused on images depicting ten distinct professions including doctor, engineer, journalist, and more.
Content analysis with manual annotation labeled each image as male or female.
AI-generated images showed that nurses and librarians were predominantly depicted as women, while men were more often shown in high-status roles.
The analysis revealed a reinforcement of stereotypes, suggesting caregiving roles are feminine and technical roles are masculine.
Findings indicate that these portrayals may affect public perceptions and career aspirations negatively.
