AB - The definition of ‘AI bias’ is ambiguous. Although it has been studied from statistical, cognitive, and socio-historical perspectives, such research has proceeded without a theoretical foundation of what bias is. Recognizing this problem, we redefine the concept of bias based on Lakoff’s prototype theory, in order to explain the cognitive and linguistic mechanisms underlying bias. We also propose a new analytical model for bias in artificial intelligence. After critically examining Davat’s definition of “bias as a deviation from the norm”, our study concludes that the degree of bias depends on how far it deviates from the central prototype of a category. It is also demonstrated that, in a specific socio-cultural context, the degree of bias is inversely proportional to prototypicality, indicating that bias is not a matter of deviation from neutral norm but of selecting a prototype.
