Gemini appears to have issues with the accuracy of its portrayals of certain historical individuals and groups—particularly with regard to their skin color or gender.
For example, in response to a request for an image of a “US senator from the 1800s,” Gemini returned results with predominantly black or Native American women (the first female senator was a white woman in 1922, so the AI images were effectively erasing history racial and gender discrimination). Google eventually suspended Gemini's image generation capabilities and apologized to users, noting that it would resume services in the coming weeks.
The company's CEO Sundar Pichai said in a recent letter to employees reviewed by The Verge that the results “offended users and demonstrated bias.” He writes that Google “worked around the clock” to solve the problem.
“No AI tool is perfect, especially in this new phase of the industry. We know the bar is high and we will keep it as long as we have to,” adds Pichai.
