Google pauses its new AI image generator, Gemini, after backlash over depicting mostly non-white people in images, even for historical scenes with only white people.

Images shared online mocked Gemini for failing to depict white people, accusing Google of being "woke" over truth and accuracy.

Examples include Gemini showing 4 non-white Swedish women and Black and Asian Nazi soldiers.

Google says Gemini aims to generate diverse images overall but is "missing the mark" in some cases.

This comes as Google races to catch up to OpenAI's ChatGPT in AI; an earlier Google AI chatbot gave incorrect info in a demo.
