  "account": "In South Korea's AI industry, transgender individual Dada has encountered challenges while developing image generation services. He found that clients were hesitant to have AI produce images that might be associated with sexual minorities, such as rainbow symbols. Dada notes that while clients may not have had malicious intentions, such exclusions can lead to discrimination. He also observed that AI systems often produce biased results, such as generating mostly female images when asked for \"cute\" images. Dada and others express concerns that big tech companies' AI systems, often described as \"black boxes,\" can perpetuate discrimination and exclusion, particularly against minority groups, including people with disabilities.",
