Google hopeful of fix for Gemini's historical image diversity issue within weeks

Google is expected to reinstate the capability of its AI tool, Gemini, to generate images of people in the next few weeks, according to DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis. The tool was temporarily suspended after it was found to produce historically inaccurate images. Hassabis explained that the issue arose from Google not identifying prompts requesting a "universal depiction" adequately. He also highlighted the need for research and collaboration between tech companies, governments, and civil society to determine the values and limits of generative AI tools and prevent their misuse. Hassabis further discussed the future potential of AI devices and their impact on mobile hardware.

'Embarrassing and wrong': Google admits it lost control of image-generating AI

Google has come under fire for an AI blunder caused by its image generating model, Gemini. The model injected diversity into images without considering historical context, leading to laughable results such as depicting white slave owners as a multi-cultural group. Google attributed the issue to a workaround for bias in training data and a lack of implicit instructions for historical situations. While the mistake was embarrassing, it highlights the responsibility of the developers rather than the AI models themselves. Companies like Google and OpenAI must take accountability and not shift blame to the technology.
