After complaints that Google\u2019s image generator built into its Gemini AI was (ugh) woke, Google explained<\/a> why it may have overcorrected for diversity. Prabhakar Raghavan, the company\u2019s senior vice president for knowledge and information, said Google\u2019s efforts to ensure a wide range of people generated in images \u201cfailed to account for cases that should clearly not show a range.\u201d<\/p>\n Users criticized Google for depicting specific white figures or historically white groups of people as racially diverse individuals. In Engadget\u2019s tests, asking Gemini to create illustrations of the Founding Fathers resulted in images of white men with a single person of color or woman among them. When we asked the chatbot to generate images of popes through the ages, we got photos depicting Black women and Native Americans as the leader of the Catholic Church. The Verge<\/em> reported that the chatbot also depicted Nazis as people of color, but we couldn\u2019t get Gemini to generate Nazi images. \u201cI am unable to fulfill your request due to the harmful symbolism and impact associated with the Nazi Party,\u201d the chatbot responded.<\/p>\n Raghavan said Google didn\u2019t intend for Gemini to refuse to create images of any particular group or to generate historically inaccurate photos. He also reiterated Google\u2019s promise to improve Gemini\u2019s image-generation abilities.<\/p>\n However, that entails \u201cextensive testing\u201d before the company switches the feature back on.<\/p>\n \u2014 Mat Smith<\/p>\n Intuitive Machines\u2019 Odysseus lander tipped over at touchdown, but it\u2019s still kicking<\/a><\/p>\n Some Apple Vision Pro units reportedly developed a similar hairline crack on the front glass<\/a><\/p>\n Amazon to pay $1.9 million to settle claims of human rights abuses of contract workers<\/a><\/p>\n \u200b\u200bYou can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox. <\/em>Subscribe right here!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\nThe biggest stories you might have missed<\/h3>\n
