Even though the company’s Gemini bot provided historically erroneous photos of a range of genders and ethnicities, users complained that the bot did so.
For instance, a prompt looking for pictures of the founding fathers of America produced images of women and people of color.
According to the corporation, the gadget was “missing the mark”.
“A diverse range of persons are produced using Gemini’s AI picture production. Additionally, the fact that it is used by people worldwide is usually a positive thing. However, Jack Krawczyk, senior director of Gemini Experiences, stated on Wednesday that “it’s missing the mark here.”
Subsequently, Google announced that it would stop the tool’s capacity to create photos of people while it fixed the issue.
AI has made mistakes about diversity in real-world situations before.
Google, for instance, notably had to issue an apology nearly ten years ago after mislabeling a picture of a black couple as “gorillas” on its pictures app.
