Google says sorry for Gemini AI’s unfair treatment based on race.
Google said sorry for Gemini messing up historical pictures. People are upset because Gemini showed white figures like the US Founding Fathers and Nazi-era German soldiers as people of color. Gemini got a lot of criticism on X for making pictures that don’t match historical facts.
Google admits some historical images on Gemini aren’t quite right. They’re working to fix that ASAP. While Gemini pumps out all sorts of pictures of people, which is cool for users worldwide, it hasn’t quite nailed it when it comes to historical images.
This month, Google started letting its AI tool Gemini create images. But, AI has been down this road before, raising concerns about fairness and diversity. About ten years back, Google had to say sorry because their photo app wrongly showed a black couple as gorillas.
There’s a report saying Google doesn’t make images it thinks are mistakes. But it might be trying to bring in more variety because generative AI often lacks diversity. These image creators aim to make the best images and texts, but sometimes they end up making stereotypes stronger.
Some folks talked about Gemini on X. Some said it’s good to show different kinds of people sometimes, but others pointed out that Gemini isn’t always the same.
Another person on X said it’s kinda awkward trying to get Google Gemini to recognize that white people exist.
Right now, Gemini won’t make pictures of Vikings or soldiers from the Nazi era.
