Assessing the Geographic Diversity of AI's Platial Representations in Image Generation
(Gen)AI diversity is not merely an ethical issue. From the perspective of geographic information science (GIScience), it could be interpreted as a function of uncertainty and as a form of cognitive bias, embedded in AI outputs. Recent work has sought to develop information-theoretic diversity measures and apply them to evaluate AI-chatbot outputs in a geographic context. As the AI ecosystem to which we are exposed on a daily basis becomes rapidly multimodal, we believe it is important to examine geographic diversity across various modalities. Focusing on images, this paper aims to fill this research gap. First, we select the GPT and DALL-E models as state-of-the-art examples and point out...
