Google Pauses AI Image Tool After Racial Bias Issues
-
Google paused its AI image generation tool Gemini after it produced inaccurate and offensive images of people, struggling with the concept of race.
-
Gemini and other AI tools are trained on vast data which can replicate existing biases around race and gender.
-
When prompted to generate images of certain people, Gemini produced images of people of color instead of white people.
-
This follows other issues with AI image generators like Dall-E perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
-
The incident deals another setback to Google in the competitive AI space after issues with its Bard/Gemini text AI tool earlier providing inaccurate information.
