Perception of Race and Sex Diversity in Ophthalmology by Artificial Intelligence: A DALL E-2 Study.

Purpose: In the past few years, there has been remarkable progress in accessibility of open-source artificial intelligence (AI) image generators, developed to help humans understand how AI sees our world. Here, we characterize perception of racial and sex diversity in ophthalmology by AI.

Methods: OpenAI's open-source DALL E-2 AI was used for image generation of ophthalmologists with queries that all included "American" and "portrait photo".
