After facing criticism, Google CEO Sundar Pichai promises to address issues with the Gemini AI app. Gemini AI gave inaccurate and racist responses related to historical people’s image generation, which upset people, leading to the Gemini AI controversy. For example, it didn’t show white people, and it used pictures of women or people of color when asked for images of Vikings, Nazis, or the Pope. Pichai says these responses are not okay, and he’s committed to making big changes to solve the issue.
Gemini AI Faces Criticism for Equating Elon Musk to Hitler
The Gemini AI controversy deepens as it generates text responses, like comparing Elon Musk to Adolf Hitler, stirring more criticism. Accusations of anti-white bias, especially from conservative quarters, amplify the backlash against Google.
In an internal memo published by Semafor, CEO Sundar Pichai acknowledges the flaws, denouncing biased responses and pledging corrective action,
“I know that some of its responses have offended our users and shown bias – to be clear, that’s completely unacceptable and we got it wrong.”
