Google Co-Founder Admits Missteps With AI Chatbot, Promises Increased Oversight After Controversial Responses
- Sergey Brin admitted Google "messed up" with controversial responses from its Gemini chatbot, after increased involvement with the company's AI strategy since ChatGPT's launch
- Brin said Gemini's problematic image generation and left-leaning bias were likely due to insufficient testing
- Brin pushed back on some criticism, saying any text model like ChatGPT or Grok could give "weird" far-left responses under pressure
- Google hasn't fully understood why Gemini sometimes leans left, which wasn't their intention
- Brin came out of retirement because the AI trajectory is "so exciting," but Google faces heat after the Gemini controversy
