Google has issued an apology for its Gemini (formerly ‘Bard’) artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot generating images that portrayed historical figures—such as the Founding Fathers—in a racially inaccurate manner, or producing racially biased images. The chatbot has also refused to produce renderings of Tiananmen Square in Beijing, citing the complex nuances involved.
Several conservative users noticed the inaccuracies and blasted the search engine, saying that this was evidence of how “woke” the AI model was, and how it had been programmed.
