Based on 75 interviews with technologists including researchers, developers, open source contributors, artists, and activists, this paper explores various... Measuring machine learning harms from stereotypes: requires understanding who is being harmed by which errors in what ways As machine learning applications proliferate, we need an understanding of their potential for harm. However, current fairness metrics are rarely grounded in human psychological experiences of harm. Drawing on the social psychology of stereotypes, we use a case study of gender stereotypes in image... Large language models cannot replace human participants because they cannot portray identity groups Large language models (LLMs) are increasing in capability and popularity, propelling their application in new domains -- including as replacements for human participants in computational social science, user testing, annotation tasks, and more. Traditionally, in all of these settings survey...
