Canva就其人工智能工具将设计中的“巴勒斯坦”替换一事道歉。
Canva apologizes after its AI tool replaces 'Palestine' in designs

Canva的新AI功能“Magic Layers”(魔法图层)被发现会自动将用户设计中的“巴勒斯坦”一词替换为“乌克兰”。该功能旨在分离图像元素以便编辑,但意外地修改了文本,特别是针对“巴勒斯坦”一词,而“加沙”等相关术语则未受影响。 这一问题由X(前身为Twitter)的一位用户发现并迅速传播,其他用户也证实了这一错误,之后Canva对此进行了处理。Canva已声明问题已解决,并正在实施进一步的安全措施以防止类似事件再次发生。 这一事件引发了对Canva的AI中存在偏见的担忧,并且对于该平台而言,这是一个重大的失误,尤其是在其扩展AI能力以与Adobe等行业领导者竞争之际。Canva为该错误造成的任何困扰表示歉意。

Canva 最近为它的 AI 图像生成器开始在用户设计中替换“巴勒斯坦”一词而道歉。这一事件在 Hacker News 上引发了关于 AI 和大型语言模型 (LLM) 本质的讨论。 用户指出,AI 并非“思考”,而是作为一只“有损文本压缩鹦鹉”运作,根据其训练数据中的频率进行替换——例如,更喜欢“color”而不是“colour”。然而,这种情况下感觉不同,因为强大的利益集团*正在*积极试图压制关于巴勒斯坦的讨论,可能影响了 AI 的行为。 虽然有些人认为 AI 只是模式匹配,但另一些人承认与真正智能 AI 想法相关的巨额财务投资,并预测无论 LLM 的能力如何,关于它们是否真正“思考”的争论将持续下去。

One of Canva’s new AI features has been caught replacing the word “Palestine” in designs. The Magic Layers feature — which is designed to break flat images out into separate editable components — isn’t supposed to make visible alterations to user designs, but it was found by X user @ros_ie9 to automatically switch the phrase “cats for Palestine” to “cats for Ukraine.”

The issue was seemingly limited specifically to the word “Palestine,” as @ros_ie9 noted that related words like “Gaza” were unaffected by the feature. Canva says it has now resolved the issue and is taking steps to prevent it from happening again.

“We became aware of an issue with our Magic Layers feature and moved quickly to investigate and fix it,” Canva spokesperson Louisa Green told The Verge. “We take reports like this very seriously, and we’re putting additional checks in place to help prevent this in future. We’re sorry for any distress this may have caused.”

Replies to the now-viral X post suggest that other users were able to replicate the bug before Canva fixed it, though my own tests didn’t show any words — Palestine or otherwise — being altered by the feature.

Still, this is one heck of a blunder, especially for a platform that’s increasingly trying to compete against Adobe’s suite of AI-powered design tools. Magic Layers is a major component of Canva’s recent AI overhaul, which it claims “marks the beginning of the next era of creation.”
