Google Left in ‘Terrible Bind’ By Pulling AI Feature After Right-Wing Backlash

Mar 01, 2024 - bloomberg.com
Google has rebranded its chatbot as Gemini and introduced two significant product upgrades to compete in the AI industry. It has also started allowing Gemini users to generate realistic images of people, a feature that went largely unnoticed initially. Other companies like OpenAI already provide similar tools used for marketing, art, and creative brainstorming.

However, these AI image-generators have the potential to perpetuate biases based on the data used during their development. For instance, some AI services are more likely to depict a nurse as a woman and a chief executive as a man, reflecting gender stereotypes.

Key takeaways:

  • Google rebranded its chatbot as Gemini and released two major product upgrades as part of its ambitious AI strategy.
  • Gemini users can now generate realistic-looking images of people, a feature that went largely unnoticed at first.
  • Other companies like OpenAI already offer similar tools that can be used for marketing, art and brainstorming creative ideas.
  • These AI image-generators run the risk of perpetuating biases based on the data they've been fed during development.
