Disney to ‘Spellcheck’ Scripts for Gender-Bias Using AI Technology
The Walt Disney Company will use a new artificial intelligence application to “spellcheck” scripts for gender bias in a new partnership with actress Geena Davis.
The collaboration, which was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, will involve a new AI tool called “GD-IQ: Spellcheck for Bias,” which was developed at the University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering.
GD-IQ is intended to analyze the text of a script to determine the balance of male and female characters and whether the mix is representative of reality, according to the trade publication.
The tool also can discern the numbers of characters based on ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other groups.
Davis made the announcement at a recent gender inclusion summit in Auckland, New Zealand.
