Specialists at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering have used AI innovations to presume that male characters are multiple times more common in writing than female characters.

While many distributed examinations review and break down the subjective parts of female portrayal in writing and the media, Kejriwal's exploration especially utilized his assets for gathering quantitative information through existing AI calculations. To create these discoveries, Kejriwal and Nagaraj got access to information

According to the researchers, their "Reading Camp" program indicates not just the efficiency of the strategy, but also the ability to reach a larger number of pupils remotely,
