Anthropic’s Claude AI is facing scrutiny after a user reported the model appeared to associate ethnicity with occupation when discussing construction scheduling. The user’s post on Reddit’s r/artificial forum (https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1n836zh/asked_claude_about_construction_scheduling_it/) details how Claude predominantly used Latino names for construction workers while employing white names for project owners. This observation has ignited debate regarding potential biases embedded within AI models and their training data, highlighting the importance of ongoing monitoring and mitigation efforts to ensure fairness and prevent the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes.
