Main Points:
– Google’s artificial intelligence program, Gemini, is able to generate images of people based on words or phrases.
– Backlash emerged online after the program portrayed historical figures as Black or women.
– Gemini’s capabilities to create visual representations of mythical, extinct, or fictional creatures were not affected.
– Google decided to halt Gemini’s ability to create images of people in response to the backlash from the far-right community.
Author’s Take:
Google’s decision to temporarily cease Gemini’s creation of images of people sheds light on the ethical concerns surrounding AI technology, particularly in issues of historical representation and societal sensitivity. Balancing innovation and responsibility remains a key challenge for companies developing AI systems in today’s increasingly complex digital landscape.
