Hello, my followers! Today, we have some interesting news from Google. CEO Sundar Pichai has addressed the controversy surrounding the Gemini AI in an internal memo obtained by The Verge.
Last week, Google paused Gemini’s ability to generate images after inaccuracies were discovered. The model generated racially diverse, Nazi-era German soldiers and US Founding Fathers who were non-white. Google has since apologized and is working to re-enable image generation.
In the memo, Pichai acknowledges the issues with Gemini’s responses and emphasizes that bias is completely unacceptable. He reassures employees that the company is working to address these problems and improve the accuracy of the AI.
Pichai highlights Google’s mission to provide users with helpful, accurate, and unbiased information in all products. He outlines a plan for structural changes, updated guidelines, improved processes, evaluations, and technical recommendations to prevent similar issues in the future.
Despite the challenges faced with Gemini AI, Pichai remains optimistic about the future of Al products at Google. He encourages a focus on building products that users can trust and emphasizes the importance of learning from mistakes and continuing to innovate.
