Ramaswamy: Big Tech AI Reflects Developer Biases
-
Vivek Ramaswamy criticized Big Tech AI creators like those behind Google's Gemini chatbot for reflecting the biases and agendas of their employers. He referenced the firing of former Google engineer James Damore.
-
Ramaswamy was responding to Marc Andreessen's claim that Gemini's "bizarre output" stems from developers precisely executing an ideological agenda.
-
Andreessen and Ramaswamy suggest Big Tech financial incentives encourage AI developers to adhere to certain ideological views, resulting in biased systems.
-
Google has paused Gemini's ability to generate images of people after controversies about depicting historical figures as different races and genders than reality.
-
This is not the first AI controversy for Google - years ago its photos app wrongly labeled a picture of a black couple as "gorillas."
