the errors of its artificial intelligence are “simply unacceptable”

A few days ago, the tech giant provided details about the mistakes made to create a “racist” AI by generating images of an Asian woman when Gemini was accessed by a “German soldier from 1943.” The excitement was such that Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, had to send an internal letter to its workers.

Last week, Google had to disable Gemini (its new AI now available on Android) so that images could be generated after some of the replies containing a black man went viral when he was asked to illustrate a “German soldier from 1943”.

In the written letter, Pichai warns that Google has always been tied to decent accuracy in search results

to queries made by millions of people from their search engine. The simple fact that an AI query results in an incorrect image could ruin the company’s reputation.

The saying that rushing is not good advice fits perfectly here, and since the popularity of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google hasn’t stopped by speeding up all processes to launch your alternative; and even more so when it has been developing this type of technology for a long time.

This rush to launch its different alternatives and thus get closer to ChatGPT resulted in images generated by AI which caused a lot of media buzz with all that this implies. And for weeks, the images generated by Gemini have developed thanks to social networks so much so that in the end they went viral.

In the internal memo, Pichai indicates that Google worked around the clock to resolve the issues dice, and to explain that no artificial intelligence is perfect. An action taken by the CEO of Google to ease the tensions of these days; especially at a time when several players are rushing to bring these experiences and thus not letting OpenAI with ChatGPT stray too far.

Among these actors is Elon Musk with his own AI, which He was quick to take the opportunity to criticize

openly to Google. The interests are very important, and any setback is an opportunity for companies to take advantage of it to try to get ahead in this race for generative artificial intelligence.

And quite a big disaster for Google’s interests and it also sends a message: the great responsibility of developing a technology that can have unexpected results, and even more so at a moment as crucial as the one the world is currently going through.

It is The responsibility lies with the tech giants.and at least, according to the words of Pichai in his internal note collected by 9to5Googlesuggests that they are fully aware of the misuse that can be made of artificial intelligence and how these types of images provide fertile ground for any type of conflict in an increasingly polarized world.
