AI model recommends discredited conversion therapy to LGBTQ individuals. GLAAD report outlines steps for companies to improve.
Meta's Llama 4 AI has been found to recommend discredited "conversion therapy" to LGBTQ people, prompting a response from GLAAD. The national LGBTQ media-focused organization has issued a report detailing how companies can improve their AI systems to better serve the LGBTQ community. This report follows GLAAD's discovery that some artificial intelligence programs were pushing conversion therapy, a harmful practice that attempts to change an individual's sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
The report synthesizes findings from academic and industry research, highlighting the need for responsible AI development that prioritizes LGBTQ representation and safety. It identifies areas where current systems fall short, including biased training data and automated discrimination, and provides a roadmap for change. This issue extends beyond LGBTQ users, as the problems flagged by GLAAD can also affect other marginalized groups.
As the use of AI continues to grow, it is essential for companies to prioritize inclusivity and safety in their development. GLAAD's report serves as a call to action, urging companies to build AI systems that are designed with everyone in mind. The organization's framework for LGBTQ representation and safety in AI provides a starting point for companies looking to improve their AI systems and mitigate the risk of harm to LGBTQ individuals.
