No: it's a team of dev βˆ’ eg. working at LAION laion.ai/faq/ βˆ’ who decided to scrape all URL and ALT text, enrich the database with their description, curate the result (eg. remove the watermark, keep the bias of stereotype work/gender/race). Political choices here.

AI can solve problems ONLY IF you have good data to train it, and acquiring is very costly. My professional experience working with AI is that there is hardly ever good data. But companies cut costs, use bad data (garbage in, garbage out) and systemic biases can end up being reinforced.
