In the fields of CG and AI, unintentional bias exists in virtual human portraits. The author believes that computer programmers and artists must think thoroughly about every detail in their design process to diminish any potential harm to a specific group of people. An example the author provided in the article is the glowing effect that was virtually generated on portraits by Johannes Vermeer and other contemporary artworks. Though the glow effect works effectively on white skin, it is not a dominant quality of black skin, which automatically creates a difference in presentations. The solution to this issue is based upon the artists’ realization of creating a diverse range of options for these qualities and refining those options to match reality accurately.
