- Annotation:
- Using generative AI in this promotional image rather than a real model took away a potential paid opportunity for a member of an Indigenous group. It also risked misrepresenting Inuit peoples, particularly given potential gaps in training data. This is an example that helps illustrate how we should always ask ourselves: Even though in this situation we *can* use generative AI, *should* we?
