Google CEO Pichai says Gemini's AI image results "offended our users"
==========
Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent an email to staff on Tuesday saying Gemini's release was unacceptable. Last week, Google paused Gemini's ability to create images following viral posts on social media depicting some of the AI tool's results, including images of America's Founding Fathers as black, the Pope as a woman, and a Nazi-era German soldier with dark skin. Pichai acknowledged that the tool's responses have offended users and shown bias, and pledged to take actions to address the issue. Google executive Prabhakar Raghavan explained that the AI service failed to account for cases that should clearly show a range of images and became overly cautious in its responses. Gemini's text-generating capabilities also came under scrutiny for providing controversial answers. Pichai acknowledged that no AI is perfect but expressed the company's commitment to improving the service.
