Text-to-image models show increased social bias in narrative formats

A new study published on arXiv investigates social biases in text-to-image generation models, specifically comparing bias expression across photo, storyboard, and comic generation tasks. The research adapted the BBG framework to evaluate six text-to-image models, finding that proprietary models produced 25.9% biased outputs in photo generation. This bias increased to 35.5% for storyboards and 44.1% for comics, indicating that narrative visual formats reveal biases more explicitly through elements like character positioning and narrative resolution.

IMPACT Highlights the need for diverse evaluation methods for text-to-image models to address biases in narrative visual formats.

    Investigating Social Bias in Narrative Image Generation

    arXiv:2608.01780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-image (T2I) generation models are increasingly embedded in applications such as media content creation and education, raising concerns about how their outputs may reproduce social biases. Prior work has shown that T2I models…
