She Works, He Works: A Curious Exploration of Gender Bias in AI-Generated Imagery

Read the original on arXiv AI →

She Works, He Works is an interdisciplinary project that blends feminist visual theory, AI critique, and artistic practice to investigate gender representation in AI-generated imagery. By comparing text‑to‑image outputs of male and female construction workers, the study exposes how societal biases appear in generative AI, highlighting aesthetic and professional disparities. Grounded in Griselda Pollock’s feminist insights, the work positions AI as both a cultural actor that can perpetuate stereotypes and a tool for critique, urging transparent practices, diverse datasets, and reflexive engagement in creative industries.

Abstract4D: A Large-Scale Dataset and Framework for Understanding the Visual Language of Abstract Art

Abstract4D is the largest dataset of abstract paintings, containing over 120,000 images with rich metadata and multi‑dimensional prompts that capture perceptual attributes such as form, color, texture, and composition. The dataset is annotated via a hybrid human–VLM pipeline to ensure quality and consistency. Using Abstract4D, the authors analyze the semantic structure of abstract art through large‑scale embedding visualization and establish benchmark tasks for classification, cross‑modal retrieval, and text‑to‑image generation to evaluate AI models’ perception and reproduction of abstract visual language.
