[Histmaj] FW: Historical Image Generation Research Study

[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS via Histmaj]

Hey there! We’re researchers from the Allen School at UW studying how to design image generation interfaces for generating pictures of people with cultural, political, social, and historical significance. This project, in part, is an attempt to understand the problems raised by the Gemini controversy<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.theverge.com/2024/2/21/24079371/google-ai-gemini-generative-inaccurate-historical__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!gXKZerl27UibqES6kWW2eET1sFtmG1bR3bzoWiOWcOSrFy1bv-bBueYeZnMxloE89HwZTmMwnm1CtA$> in which Google's image generation model outputted diverse but inaccurate images of historical figures. We’re looking for people from a diverse range of backgrounds and ways of thinking to participate in a 1-1 online interview-style user study (lasting one hour with compensation of $20), scheduled November to December!

We think this study would be particularly interesting to history students, since study participants will be sharing their reactions to how image generation interfaces depict historical figures in different ways. If interested, please fill out the following recruiting form: https://forms.gle/nXnR5yhxLD3j3x3t6<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/forms.gle/nXnR5yhxLD3j3x3t6__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!gXKZerl27UibqES6kWW2eET1sFtmG1bR3bzoWiOWcOSrFy1bv-bBueYeZnMxloE89HwZTmNh4JPgrQ$>. Thanks!
