An Asian MIT student asked AI to turn an image of her into a professional headshot. It made her white with lighter skin and blue eyes.

• An Asian MIT student was shocked when an AI tool turned her white for a professional headshot. 
• She said she's been put off using AI image tools for now because it didn't create usable results.
• A recent study showed that some AI image generators have issues with gender and racial bias. 

An MIT graduate was caught by surprise when she prompted an AI image generator to create a professional headshot for her LinkedIn profile, and it instead changed her race.
