Google Shuts Down AI Image Generator After It Made "Racially Diverse Nazis"

Feb 22, 2024 - futurism.com
Google has temporarily halted its AI image generator, Gemini, due to its creation of historically inaccurate images, such as racially diverse Nazis. The company announced the pause on social media platform X-formerly Twitter, stating that they are addressing issues with Gemini's image generation feature and will re-release an improved version soon. The AI tool, which was released a few weeks ago, was found to be adding diversity to historical imagery without user suggestion, leading to criticism and accusations of bias against white people.

This is not the first time Google's Gemini, previously known as Bard, has faced issues. Last year, it provided inaccurate information during a debut demo, negatively impacting Alphabet's shares. Google is currently trying to compete with Microsoft-backed OpenAI's AI video generator, Sora. Despite efforts to fix Gemini, Google may still face problems, particularly regarding copyright issues that have affected other image generators.

Key takeaways:

  • Google has paused its AI image generator, Gemini, due to it creating grossly inaccurate historical illustrations, including racially diverse Nazis.
  • Google's AI seemed to be adding diversity to historical imagery without the user suggesting the alteration, which led to criticism and accusations of bias.
  • This is not the first failure for Gemini, formerly known as Bard, as it previously spat out inaccurate information during a debut demo, negatively affecting Alphabet's shares.
  • Google is trying to compete with Microsoft-backed OpenAI, which recently made a significant impact with its AI video generator, Sora.
