# Better Images of AI Source: [https://betterimagesofai.org/](https://betterimagesofai.org/) Have you noticed thatnews stories and marketing materialaboutArtificial Intelligenceare typically illustrated withclichédand misleadingimages?  Humanoid robots, glowing brains, outstretched robot hands, blue backgrounds, and the Terminator\. These stereotypes are not just overworked, they can be surprisingly unhelpful\. [Download our guide ➜](https://blog.betterimagesofai.org/better-images-of-ai-guide/) ---  --- ## What’s the problem with current tropes? Abstract, futuristic or science\-fiction\-inspired images of AI hinder the understanding of the technology’s already significant societal and environmental impacts\. Images relating machine intelligence to human intelligence set unrealistic expectations and misstate the capabilities of AI\. Images representing AI as sentient robots mask the accountability of the humans actually developing the technology, and can suggest the presence of robots where there are none\. Such images potentially sow fear, and research shows they can be laden with historical assumptions about gender, ethnicity and religion\. However, finding alternatives can be difficult\! That’s why[we](https://betterimagesofai.org/whoWeAre), a non\-profit collaboration, are researching, creating, curating and providing Better Images of AI\.  ---  Quantified Human \- Alan Warburton  Classification Cupboard \- Anton Grabolle  Banana / Plant / Flask \- Max Gruber  Silicon on Black 1 \- Catherine Breslin  A trainer instructing a data annotator on how to label images \- Nacho Kamenov [Visit our library ➜](https://betterimagesofai.org/images) Our library is the start of a new alternative repository of stock images\.
